FAWA: Petition Merafong City Council to ban the use of fireworks
To Merafong City Coucil.
BAN ALL FIREWORKS IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS and restrict the sale of fire works in the Merafong City Municipal area.
This is requested to bring the Merafong Municipality bylaws inline with the THE EXPLOSIVES ACT No 26 OF 1956 (fireworks-explosives-act)
We, request the Merafong City Local Municipality to ban all fireworks in residential areas and the sale of fireworks by commercial concerns in residential areas.
We, the residents of Merafong City Local Municipality and other residents in our area add our voices to all other Residents Associations, Community Police Forums and other interested parties in the Merafong City Local Municipality, to jointly request the banning of fireworks in all residential areas.
We the residents of Johannesburg request that the Merafong City Local Municipality amend their laws regulating fireworks and to implement the following:
- No fireworks in residential areas for any reasons and on no days or times whatsoever other than the events approved by the City.
- To severely restrict the retail selling of fireworks to any individual by a commercial concern without an approved and valid permit. To supply fireworks only to business concerns for public events held in stipulated areas determined by the Merafong City Local Municipality.
The main reason for this proposal is to highlight the cruelty that people, pets, wild birds and other animals experience as a result of the sound of fireworks.
As Mahatma Gandhi once said, “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.”
We recognise the need of people to celebrate with fireworks but request that this is done away from residential areas and propose that these regulated and approved events be held in stadiums so as to minimise the trauma caused as a result of fireworks.

Hardworking People Against AB 928
Assembly Bill 928 is a reckless, poorly written legislative proposal. Whether it's for breeding, showing, rescuing, or keeping roosters for personal, cultural, or spiritual reasons, this bill undermines our way of life. It affects thousands across the state who cherish and maintain these animals as an integral part of our lives. Assembly Bill 928, under the guise of regulating cockfighting, does not distinguish between illegal activities and responsible rooster ownership. Legitimate breeders an...

The adoption and ratification of a new calendar for the United Global Trade Organization
To whom it may concern, I hope this article finds you well. **The Case for a New Calendar System Based on a Deck of Cards** The current Gregorian calendar, though widely accepted and functional, has long been criticized for its irregularities and inconsistencies. Months vary in length from 28 to 31 days, making planning and scheduling less intuitive. Adopting a new calendar system with "twelve plus one" months of 28 days each, and an additional "transition day" at the end of the year—would br...

Oppose Islamophobia Definition
We the undersigned oppose any government definition of so-called ‘Islamophobia’. We assert our freedom to expose and oppose the errors and violence of the Islamic religion and to bring the truth of the Gospel to Muslims. We deplore the inherent bias of the Government ‘Working Party on Anti-Muslim Hatred / Islamophobia’ in which every member is either a Muslim activist or, in the case of its chairman, Dominic Grieve KC, an apologist for Islam. We are dismayed that the sole focus of the ‘Working...

Take Brian Kilmeade off the air!
To Rupert Murdoch, Lachlan Murdoch, and all other shareholders and executives of Fox Corporation: On Wednesday, September 10, 2025, Brian Kilmeade casually suggested on "Fox and Friends" that we kill mentally ill/homeless people without benefit of trial, via involuntary lethal injection. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/9mq3oKI2KhY This is reprehensible, it is dangerous, and it is sick. As a network, Fox News is known for presenting content that is, to put it mildly, controversial. But t...
