The rules govern by the Republic should apply to all. It is illegal and they should be removed.

It is absolute BS that I need to pay my rates and taxes and the gravy train masters sit on their backs, enjoying my cash and not doing anything about ILLEGAL occupancy that also is a direct threat to my life with the statistical increased criminal activity in my neighborhood. So sick and tired of this!!! Corruption and nepotism all the way!!!!

These settlers live in the coldest area in Pretoria and they make fires that pollute the area and the surrounding areas. This is not a suitable area to live in. Please help them and relocate to a warmer area in Pretoria. I have given them clothes but I don't think it is sufficient for the cold we have experienced the past days

I don't like the informal settlement in my area.... It is unhealthy and n danger crime rates in the area

This is unacceptable. Government can stop unemployment by stopping all the red tape caused by BBBEE so that all can have jobs and support their family. Not just selected few.

People should respect nature

I am signing the petition in order to show my support for the protection of the area and nature.

These people deserve proper housing

(Wingate Park, 2020-07-25)

#1657

Government should please address the homeless people that was kicked out at Marabastad and now trying to find place to stay!

A danger to our area

(Pretoria, 2020-07-25)

#1665

This results in more crime. Look at plastic view/cemetery view and the increase in crime in Garsfontein.

This must be stopped.

(Pretoria, 2020-07-25)

#1667

This will become another crime hotspot if allowed to continue

(Pretoria, 2020-07-25)

#1671

These people need to move to a resident area that have proper services like electricity. Water and where thr community live happy and safe.

Illegal squatting can not be tolerated.

I live close to this informal settlement and I am concerned that if more people are allowed to live there it might cause irreparable damage to the natural environment.

(Pretoria, 2020-07-26)

#1692

The rising informal settlement popping up is a major concern for the east of Pretoria. Informal settlements bring crime, noise, pollution and has a detrimental effect on the value of your property.

(Moreleta Park, 2020-07-26)

#1694

It is an environmental mess, no facilities like sewerage, pityfull living circumstances by sleeping under cartboard shelters, crime brought to the neighbourhood, possible highjackings, that will make it dangerous to travel there diring night time.

(Pretoria, 2020-07-26)

#1695

I believe that this is a good cause

(Pretoria, 2020-07-26)

I’m passionate about preservation

(Pretoria, 2020-07-26)

I'm a resident in the area and care about the management of these natural resources.

(Pretoria, 2020-07-26)

#1712

It's becoming a big concern for everyone's safety and the crime is starting to spike in our area.

I leave for work at half past 5 in the morning while it is still dark and have to drive past that area which makes it very unsafe for me.

(Pretoria, 2020-07-26)

#1722

The Wolwespruit should be protected, these areas are the lungs of our city. Concern for the inhabitants of the informal settlement to live in a floodline area.

(Pretoria, 2020-07-26)

I am concerned about the safety in Community die to the informal settlement

(Pretoria, 2020-07-26)

I love to go mountain biking, and Wolwespruit is the closest mountain bike park to where I live.

We hike there. Will be to dangerous

(Pretoria, 2020-07-26)

#1751

No environmental control and impact studies done as well as no approved housing zone.

(Pretoria, 2020-07-27)

#1755

Unexceptable....resident close by

(Pretoria, 2020-07-27)

#1756

relocate the informal settlement to a more suitable location. Not only will this protect the environment, it will simultaneously provide the informal settlers with basic care and services, rather than the inhumane conditions under which they currently live.

(Pretoria, 2020-07-27)

#1759

It creates a security risk

(Pretoria, 2020-07-27)

#1760

The informal settlement is growing fast and causing unrepairable damage to the stream and wetland area. It is also creating a health hazzard with domestic rubbish being dumped everywhere.

(Pretoria, 2020-07-27)

#1763

Pollution and crime is becoming a big problem. The stream is being used as toilet and it is very unhigenic and smells bad. I have seen people stopping at the settlement to buy drugs from the people living there .

(Pretoria, 2020-07-27)

#1769

Save the wetland

(Pretoria, 2020-07-27)

#1772

Informal settlement...not a place to stay

(Pretoria, 2020-07-27)

#1776

These squatters will increase crime in the area and let property values drop in the area. It also has health implications because of terrible higene.

(Elarduspark, 2020-07-27)

#1778

I'm signing because I'm concerned about the damage to the environment and the lack of facilities for the people living there.This is dangerous to them as well as residents in the surrounding areas.

(Pretoria, 2020-07-27)

#1779

Safety concerns as well as destruction of nature, no where can the tax paying residents go to relax or walk without having to pay or feel safe... Wolwespruit should be open clean and safe

(Pretoria, 2020-07-27)

#1781

We need this

(Pretoria, 2020-07-27)

#1782

Ecological nightmare, no infrastructure, living under shelters. Inhumane living conditions. No sewerage, no water, no electricity. Might become a crime hotspot.

(Pretoria, 2020-07-27)

#1784

Only officially approved informal settlements with the necessary facilities should be allowed!

(Pretoria, 2020-07-27)

#1785

My sister loves there and they fear for their lives

(Pretoria, 2020-07-27)

#1794

We cant have this site be contaminated like this. You cant just put up houses wherever you like! Thats totally unacceptable. If we allow lawlessness where will we end?
