The small South African town of Orania came together on 10 September 2026 for a communal Spring cleaning event, with a large group of residents turning out to take part.

Footage from the gathering shows dozens of men assembled on a grassy open area during the day. An on-screen text overlay reading "Orania Lenteregruk!" (Afrikaans for "Orania Spring Greeting") set the tone for what was clearly a well-organised, community-driven occasion.
