There is no infrastructure. The nature are destroyed, the stream is polluted, the rubbish is left and the people staying there poses a health risk as there aint any ablution so they secrete in the stream.

I am against squatters... We pay rates and taxes and actually buy land... It is illegal and the government should act against this

1) Ecologically sensitive and important environmental area that needs to be protected as a heritage to the future generations. 2) I have an issue with informal settlements that over the years have been allowed to grow and grow to the detriment of the environment and people that live there. I therefore fully support this petition.

The people living informally have homes somewhere else as well and causing a health hazard to themselves and everybody around them and the water they use inappropriately

This informal settlement will cause havoc in our community. Unfortunately, informal settlements such as this one, lead to an increase in crime in the areas surrounding them. This area is also ecologically important and one of few green spots in the area.

Make space for them at the Union Buildings. There is no space here.

I am signing this petition as I am concerned about the growing numbers of people staying irregularly at Wolwespruit.

The squatter situation is becoming a humanitarian problem, with human beings living is conditions not acceptable by modetn standards. After 26 year of world-class ANC rule, nobody should have to live under these circumstances and government should, as always, make good on 26 years of promises.

I live in the area - the amount of polution, stench in the river has increased drastically the laat couple of months! Safety is also a concern - we are seeing all the more beggars in the streets at the robots and also at the Castle walk shopping centre which is also very close by. They beg even in the shops - its not safe, its not humane, and it is destroying this beautiful natural area we have come to appreciate of the area

I work ar Armscor near the area. This settlement will bring crime to our area. They also don't care about the environment and no infrastructure for them.

(Pretoria, 2020-07-28)

Its durty and unhealthy...safety reasons...the water that runs there is full of papers and tins

Wolwespr is a protected wetland area where the Wolwespruit begins. It is a fresh water source that is sensitive and it needs to be managed properly. We cannot allow the area be occupied by people that have no value for nature and pollute the area with filth that will harm the area permanently.

I feel that the environment should be protected as well as the people. They should be moved to where they are safe.

It is ecologically essential in any country in the world that green areas are maintained to prevent, amongst orhers, pandemics and climate change. The responsible housing of citizens is the responsibility of Government and is vital

(Pretoria, 2020-07-28)

Please remove all illegal squatters as its damaging the wetlands.

(Pretoria, 2020-07-28)

I am in favour of responsible townplanning and oppose illegal use of land. I call for the government to address the housing need in this country!
