Because it is safety risk and health

The informal settlement should be relocated 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.

this issue requires urgent attention. Failure to do something will result in the matter escalating to a point of no return like plastic view. The crime rate in our area has increased dramatically

South Africa needs to protect these sensitive ecosystems, we are already notorious in the international community for destroying life with our air and water pollution.

The informal settelment is causing untold harm to what should be a protected area.

(Pretoria, 2020-07-21)

Crime is very high in the area.

I am a mountain biker and I can see the effect on the stream in Wolwespruit. Our safety is a concern as these people has no job or food and they harrash you if you ride past them on hans strijdom or come from Wolwespruit.

Unpresidented increase in serious crime (armed robberies, housebreaks and car thefts) in our surrounding area around this settlement over the past 4-6 weeks!!

(Pretoria, 2020-07-21)

#1229

It’s an urgent safety and security problem, the crime in our area have increased exponentially and we as a family are still traumatized because we were victims of an attempted house braking!

Please stop these informal settlements from creeping into our neighborhoods. Criminality always follows these type of unlawful occupations

(Pretoria, 2020-07-22)

#1249

This settlement is growing by the day and will soon become an Informal Estate that will be extremely difficult to re-locate

(Pretoria, 2020-07-22)

Disaster ecological

(Pretoria, 2020-07-22)

#1257

They cannot stay where there is no zoning for private houses. Please let us all keep our country save and live like humans with respect to human and environment.

(Pretoria, 2020-07-22)

#1261

It is not conducive to have an informal settlement at this area as it is an ecological wetland which needs to be protected from such.

(Pretoria, 2020-07-22)

#1266

Big threat for aea and crime increased a lot past weeks

(Pretoria, 2020-07-22)

#1267

We as home owners and tax payers do not want these illegal squatters fouling up our suburb. They are menace to society and should be removed promptly. The litter, steal and really make the once pristine area look and smell terrible.

(Pretoria, 2020-07-22)

#1270

I drive past this every morning at 05:30 to go to work at the hospital. These squatters are becoming more and more. I am scared hijackings will soon follow

(Pretoria, 2020-07-22)

#1274

They need to be provided with safer and more humane environment.

(Pretoria, 2020-07-22)

#1279

Thisbis not the area for informal settlements..it will affect not only property values, but will see an increase in crime, which already is the case

(Pretoria, 2020-07-23)

#1282

These poor people need a formal settlement to live in dignity, pleaae rehome them to a safer place with the necessary infrastructure. The crime will increase in this area due to unemployment, hunger a desperation.

(Pretoria, 2020-07-23)

#1289

We can't allow a swatter camp on this land that is a nature area.

(Centurion, 2020-07-23)

#1291

I’m signing this petition because the people living there arw causing a health risk to everyone in the area and increasing the occurrence of crime.

(Pretoria, 2020-07-23)

#1294

security risk and ugly and unhealthy

(pretoria, 2020-07-24)

I live in the neigbourhood next to Wolwespruit. Since this informal settelement emerged the crime rate has increased. With the people having no abultion they use the spruit to wash themselves, clothes and relief themselves. A fowl spell is hanging in Nossob street. It poses a health risk. Many of these people frequent the nearby Castle Walk shopping centre which becomes increasingly unsafe.

(Pretoria, 2020-07-24)

#1296

Crime is increasing and the impact on the environment and on the property prices are huge. We must protect our wetlands and greenbelt areas.

(Pretoria, 2020-07-24)

#1297

I live in the area and the settlement is a health risk to those living there, a threat to the environment and likely a new hiding place for criminals in the area

(Pretoria, 2020-07-24)

#1300

I'm signing because the informal settlement is a health risk to themselves and a crime risk to the houses close by.

(Midrand, 2020-07-25)

#1324

This is a natural wetland and after the first rains will be flooded and will lead to disease. It will create a very unhealthy environment.

#1336

I live partly in Netherlands and partly in Pretoria close to where this takes place. And would effect me in the long run.

(Amsterdam, 2020-07-25)

#1338

The people staying there are making fire that causes smoke to come into our houses making it smell. There are no rules for the people staying there and this should not be allowed.

(Pretoria, 2020-07-25)

#1340

Towns should be developed in a disciplined and planned manner. Not in a sporadic do it yourself manner.

(Pretoria, 2020-07-25)

(Pretoria, 2020-07-25)

I don’t want that settlement to get any bigger

(Pretoria, 2020-07-25)

#1362

It is clear that crime increases and having one of our wetlands misused like that is terrible!

(Pretoria, 2020-07-25)

#1366

This is the area where I live - we pay high rates and taxes and do not need squatters in our clean and safe area. Everyone knows what follows when informal settlements are next to your neighborhood... please remove and reestablish them elsewhere.

(Pretoria, 2020-07-25)

#1371

Security risk!

(Pretoria, 2020-07-25)

#1375

The land is needed for safe environment to exercise during covid lockdown . Especially for WOMAN , ELDERLY and people who live in confined rooms or apartments.

(Pretoria, 2020-07-25)

Protect our wetlands.

(Pretoria, 2020-07-25)

#1389

I dont feel safevif this informal settlement is allowed to be put up and it is majority foreign nationals who are occupying them

(Pretoria, 2020-07-25)

#1391

Illegal land ceazing is not the solution to the problem. There is no infrastructure ie. sanitation, clean water, schools, clinics etc.
We already have millions of people without jobs.....hanging around with nothing to do will lead crime.
