Bin cleaners bring Hollywood to Khayelitsha
In June 2015, student Buhle Sithela began cleaning rubbish bins in Khayelitsha, on the outskirts
of Cape Town, where he lives. He uses the money he makes from the project to aid the people of
the township, including hosting community film screenings. Movies are his passion, he says.
Cinema harnesses the power of the sun
Do-it-yourself videos to teach skills, as well as short story films, are screened in rural and marginalised areas, using solar energy. Next up for Sunshine Cinema is a road trip exposing its work to people from Cape Town to Kenya.
Many heads make light of a challenge
For the past four years, Cape Town collective Shift has been working closely with communities to inspire sustainable design, working towards universal social, environmental and economic well-being.
