A lot has happened in Durban this year including severe floods which massively contributed to the state the city is in.

Taking to Twitter, Bridget shared a video which has since reached the attention of other celebrities like Sizwe Dlomo. She said she recently worked in Durban and was not happy with the filthiness of the city. She wrote:

"What they’ve done to my city is really maddening ... It's filthy man. Was working across the city for four months and every neighbourhood we filmed in was filthy with litter. They’ve run this city down to a shell of what it used to be 15 to 20 years ago."

"As South Africans we have a culture of littering & not caring. We Just throw things around with no sense of care or responsibility. People throw things out of cars, stop & pee everywhere We need a culture shift driven by individual responsibility, patriotism & hygiene advocacy."

@amatulo said:

"People must be told not to litter. Half the problem solved. But, their thinking is, somebody else must pick up my mess, as that somebody gets paid. So people do not care! Teach your children. Respect. Values."

"The whole of Mzansi is looking like this especially in the CBD's across the country."
