City-Zen is a community project registered as a Non-Profit Organisation, with the aim of creating cleaner, greener, and safer cities.
Dan started out cleaning the Rivonia section of the Sandspruit River, spending 10 years cutting back growth and bush along the river banks to create the pristine environment it is today, which is now home to fish, ducks, walking and bike trails and is secured with cameras.
