Briefly News reported that reality TV star Londie London shut the doors of her business in solidarity with the cause.

For a long time, Johannesburg's filth has been a topic that residents have always talked about and sought intervention from city leaders for, almost always to no avail.

This left them wondering why leaders wait for events such as the G20 before they take tangible action for their electors.
