She’s Cleaning Up a River and Changing Lives... Meet Tarryn Johnston

Loading player...
What started as a simple weekend clean-up has become one of South Africa’s most inspiring community movements.

In this episode of Good Things with Brent Lindeque, we sit down with Tarryn Johnston – the powerhouse behind Hennops Revival – to talk about how she’s led the charge to clean up the Hennops River, one plastic bag at a time.

From removing over 5 million kilograms of waste to creating thousands of jobs and even turning river rubbish into paint, Tarryn’s story is one of grit, purpose and real hope.

We chat about where it all began, the ripple effects it’s had on her community and the creative innovation that’s helping turn pollution into possibility.

Expect goosebumps, inspiration and a reminder that good things really do grow when we care enough to act.
