Bontle ke Botho: "Being beautiful is being human."

The Bontle ke Botho campaign - to find the cleanest school, ward and town in Gauteng - was run by the provincial government ahead of the Summit. By entering, communities took a conscious decision to keep their environment clean, green and beautiful - and to leave a beautiful legacy for the next generation, well beyond the Summit.

The objective of Bontle ke Botho - and other initiatives - was to change people's relationship with their environment. By targeting the leadership at schools and local government wards, Bontle ke Botho has had a substantial impact on understanding, attitudes, and behaviour.
