The rate at which it is increasing is alarming and already the crime rate around the area has dramatically increased which is very concerning as a home owner in this area.

As a regular user of the Wolwespruit mountainbike trails, we do not want crime to elevate as a result of the informal settlements and also do not want to fear for our families safety when using facilities adjacent to this informal development.

Safety compromised. Fires at night time aggravate my asthma problems. Unsightly to say in the least.

illegal land grab causing crime spikes in area and out of control

(Pretoria, 2020-08-11)

I want to stop the Wolwespruit informal settlement, it will reduce the value of my property. It will increase the risk of crime in the area.

I strongly disapprove of the settlement especially with the current COVID 19 pandemic. There are no toilet facilities, clean water etc. They pass up and down our street not wearing masks. Crime also on the increase.

We live in the area and crime from this area is becoming very serious.

(Pretoria, 2020-08-12)

Same as Plastic view, den of thieves, cesspool and rubbish dump.

It is in the interest of community safety. The larger area is being hit by crime, especially the area adjacent to the settlement. Also, the area is not developed for settlement. The local government should take responsibility in providing the correct shelter for these people and protect the safety of those who are staying in the area legally .

Crime increased tremendously in the last couple of months. We can not have people staying just where they want. The area are full of rubble and is affecting our environment.

(Pretoria, 2020-08-12)

In a settlement there are a lot of criminal activities which is not good for pretoria east. The crime rate is already so high. Also sicknesses can break out because there is no amenties and all the rubbish gets dumped in the vlei. It supposed to be a protected area.

Wolwespruit needs to be protected and preserved

(Pretoria, 2020-08-13)

#3282

Protect the area

(Pretoria, 2020-08-13)

#3296

We need to take care of nature. And preserve what we have left. The pollution taking place is unacceptable.

(Pretoria, 2020-08-13)

#3300

It's a safety risk

(Pretoria, 2020-08-13)

#3308

I want them out of there they are causing the place to smell like smoke and also making a mess

(Pretoria, 2020-08-15)

#3315

My daughter and granddaughter is living there.
Please clean up this area as its getting dangerous there.

(Centurion, 2020-08-17)

#3322

The smoke is terrible
The smell there is even worse

(Pretoria, 2020-09-09)

#3326

The squatters are creating unhealthy and unsafe conditions.

(Tshwane, 2020-09-14)

#3327

I am signing as these vagrants are involved in a number of house robberies in our area

(Pretoria, 2020-09-17)

#3329

Having informal settlers promotes crime in the area as well as destroy the environment. They should be relocated as fast as possible before it becomes uncontrollable.

(Tshwane, 2020-09-17)

#3333

Unsafe, crime rise, littering, and yes, illegal?? Why is this allowed and a petition even needed?

(Pretoria, 2020-09-20)

#3342

always smoke and lots and lots and lits of litter. Sis

(CENTURION, 2020-09-20)

#3343

Natural wetland, not suitable for a squatter camp.
Crime is rising in the area.
Few weeks ago armed robbers were followed, ending up in that area, where one was shot.

Kan nie sulke ongekontroleerde besetting van grond toelaat. Geen riolering of dienste. Varkhok

(Pretoria-Oos, 2020-09-20)

#3356

Can’t allow informal settlements to move into neighborhoods

(Pretoria, 2020-09-20)

#3358

We need to restore our area to its previous state where people can live without fear of illegal intruders ...and we need to protect our environment as well.

(Pretoria, 2020-09-20)

#3359

These informal settlements are started and occupied by undocumented and illegal foreigners. These squatter camps cause health and safety problems and have a serious impact on the environment.

I stay in erasmuskloof.. Very close to my house

(Pretoria, 2020-09-20)

#3367

This affects our property value and safety directly, apart from crime rate up there are also more and more cable thefts

(Pretoria, 2020-09-20)

#3368

Informal settlements are a breeding ground for drug abuse, crime, illegal immegrants, violence towards women & children and everything that is bad

(Pretoria, 2020-09-20)

#3384

Enough is enough!! It can't look like a dump site everywhere

(Pretoria, 2020-09-20)

#3386

They contribute to the high crime rates in the area. They definitely do not contribute to the economy.

(Pretoria, 2020-09-20)

#3392

I’m signing because I feel it is unfair that everyone else has to pay property tax and that these squatters can do just what they like with no obligation to contribute to society

(Pretoria, 2020-09-20)

#3393

I live nearby

(Pretoria, 2020-09-20)

The occupation of the Wolwespruit area by informal settlers is illegal and poses drastic health, security, and environmental problems.
