The government should be held responsible for the situation that these people are in.

(Pretoria, 2020-07-20)

People deserve decent housing and by allowing illegal squatter camps you are destroying their dignity and the environment. The government has enough ground to provide decent housing and the missing ingredients are people working and not being paid to be at work and an end to corruption. Your illegal squatter camp is a disgrace to the country and a attack on the dignity and human rights of all its citizens.

Stay in the area and is hugely concerned by pollution of environment and increase in crime that we’ve experienced since.

Informal settlers does not have any basic care and services. They are staying there under inhumane conditions, and harm what should be a protected area.
Also, any illegal occupying of land should not be allowed.

(Pretoria, 2020-07-20)

#1041

There is no infrastructure for squatters there and the land needs to be protected as well.

(Tshwane, 2020-07-20)

#1042

I believe it will cause more crime in the area.

(Pretoria, 2020-07-20)

#1048

It becomes a big issue regarding crime in our area. It also is a health risk for our area.

(Pretoria, 2020-07-20)

Wolwespruit should be a protected area.

(City of Tshwane., 2020-07-20)

#1062

The Informal Settlement located at the Wolwespruit continues to expand unchecked. It is against the law. There are no services (water/sanitation) available. Inhuman living conditions

(Pretoria, 2020-07-20)

#1065

The crime goes up as soon as a informal settlement is formed near the formal suburbs especially the house breaking. The streets are unsafe to drive especially at night.

(Pretoria, 2020-07-20)

#1067

It is a issue of safety for residents in the area

(Pretoria, 2020-07-20)

#1074

It concerns me regarding crime.
Poverty creates crime.
Sensitive environment.
To bring it to the attention of the Administrator.

(Pretoria, 2020-07-20)

#1076

This is an ecologically sensitive area and should be protected

(Pretoria, 2020-07-20)

#1077

Wetlands should be protected. Who are these land grabbers, illigal immigrants?

(Pretoria, 2020-07-20)

#1078

1. Im a community member and wish for safe environment for my clild to love in.
2. We do not support illigal land grabs
3. IF the situaiton is not ocntrolled we will land up with a large informal settlement to the liking of primose, we moved away for safety not to lan up in the same situation
3. The settlement affects the property value
4. The people living there illegally do not have access to basic human rights
5. Over the years the people have been moved from one side of the road to move into hte otehrside and expand further.

(Moreletapark, 2020-07-20)

(Pretoria, 2020-07-20)

#1087

(Pretoria, 2020-07-20)

#1090

I live close to the area, crime rate is going up, values of our properties will go down and it will no longer be safe to live in the area.

(pretoria, 2020-07-20)

#1091

I am concerned for our community and nature.

(Pretoria, 2020-07-20)

#1095

To much destruction in our City

(Pretoria, 2020-07-20)

#1096

Health risk due to no services

(Pretoria Waterkloof, 2020-07-20)

#1100

We need green areas to be protected. Further, informal settlements harbour vagrants and desperate people who cause crime in surrounding areas.

(Pretoria, 2020-07-20)

#1106

Increased robberies in the area and damage to environment

(Moreleta Park, 2020-07-20)

We Dont need another crime and health crisis area??!

(Pretoria, 2020-07-20)

#1114

Increase the risk of theft and vandalism.

(Pretoria, 2020-07-20)

#1120

Because we need to stop the scourge of ecological destruction to the spruit and the influx of people, returning consistently to this spot, causing a notable, and clearly related, spike in crime

(Pretoria, 2020-07-20)

#1124

Security threatened

(Pretoria, 2020-07-20)

Its not safe in that area when i go cycling or visiting friends

(Midrand, 2020-07-20)

#1131

I also want to protect this very sensitive area. We HAVE to look after our wetlands, if we carry on like we do currently, all these will soon be gone forever!

(Pretoria, 2020-07-20)

#1133

Informal settlements should not be allowed. No services or facilities, so sewerage and rubbish contaminate natural resources. Poor living conditions with high risk of fires, like Plastic View for example. Illegal activities such as shebeens, growing of dagga plants, rape and murder - Plastic View as an example once again. Once an informal settlement is allowed to establish, it is extremely difficult to move the squatters off of the land. Illegal dumping also becomes a problem. Municipal by-laws are not enforced, so the community as a whole is affected.

(Pretoria, 2020-07-20)

Love the little nature we have left and l cycle there regularly.

(Pretoria, 2020-07-20)

#1139

We need to protect this land for the wildlife

(Centurion, 2020-07-20)

#1145

I pay taxes, and do not think that informal settlements belong in the suburbs. Government should make provision for these types of settlements and provide essential services in suitable areas.

I'm signing because the crime has increased, moving around Moreleta Park has become unsafe and altercations with beggers are rife

(Pretoria, 2020-07-21)

My parents stay in Erasmuskloof and I am concerned about their safety

(Pretoria, 2020-07-21)

#1160

The more the settlements expand, the more our neighbourhood are prone to more crime and loss in value of property. I agree to remove these settlelers and send them back to where they come from, it is public ground and not living space. The people also litter and make waste of this area.

(Pretoria, 2020-07-21)

#1162

I have property and a business close by. This is a wetland and needs to be protected. Currently waiste water and other waist is contaminating the area. Crime is increasing. Noise is increasing. Air pollution due to fires. Risk of veldfires due to uncontrolled burning of rubbish and other fires.

(Pretoria, 2020-07-21)

#1168

This has become a severe security risk

(Pretoria, 2020-07-21)

#1170

The settlement is doing harm to the ecological habitat, brings danger to those that run and ride at the Wolwespruit area.

Ek bly naby die nedersetting.... en is 'nbedreiging vir my. Ek betaal baie erfbelasting en diens te om daar te bly. Misdaad neem toe en die spruit word vir alles menslike goed gebruik. Daar is geen toiletgeriewe ens daar beskikbaar nie en siektes gaan daar uitbroei. Dit is onaanvaarbaar dat mense net mag plak waar hulle wil. Dit is teen die wet!!! Dit het ook 'n invloed op die waarde van my eie Dom as ek wil verkoop!!!!

(Pretoria, 2020-07-21)

I an concerned about invasion of land in Tshwane

(Pretoria, 2020-07-21)

(Pretoria, 2020-07-21)

#1184

Dont want an informal settlement in the area

(Pretoria, 2020-07-21)

#1188

For our community's safety to secure our area and clear out the informal settlement.

(Pretoria, 2020-07-21)

#1200

Informal settlements are attracting undesirable characters which creates an opportunity for crime in the surrounding areas. We no longer feel safe walking in the streets. We sold our freestanding home because of the crime, and moved to a security estate.
