A group of environmental activists are hard at work restoring Muizenberg Park stream and wetlands to their former glory and making sure the ecosystem thrives.

People's Post spoke with spokesperson for the Friends of Muizenberg Park (FMP), John Venn, who has been spearheading the revamp since the beginning of last month.

The park is owned and managed by the City of Cape Town.

FMP is a non-profit organisation that aims to promote environmental awareness.
