Lentswe, Klerksdorp - The Department of Community Services in the City of Matlosana cleaned the area at the local railway station where the Phelophepha Primary Health Care Train will park this week. The workers were seen cutting down trees and removing objects to ensure clear visibility and a safe environment for visitors. Phelophepha means “good, clean health”.
