Joburg school rhino sculpture is 'Collect-a-Can' winner
A sculpture of a rhino made from cans collected for recycling has won a Johannesburg school first prize in the countrywide "Collect-a-Can Craze Competition" - a contest that encourages children to take care of their environment. Hoërskool Florida won the R15 000 grand prize, beating schools around the country, reports Romaana Naidoo, on the City of Johannesburg website (www.joburg.org.za).
In the competition, schools had to build a structure out of 300 or more cans in the most creative way possible. "Schools continue to impress us with their creative and ingenious artworks," said Zimasa Velaphi, Collect-a-Can's PR and marketing manager.
