NEW TENT RESIDENTS DURBANVILLE

Comments

#605

This tent cities bring massive waves of crime into our neighbourhoods and also pollution, rubbish all over town. Our neighbourhood cameras every night pick up the tent city dwellers looking poeples yards, at 3am in the morning..... Very suspicious. COCT and the useless Councillor is failing us, just drawing a salary, ANC style.

It has been a problem for too long. My business has been affected multiple times with people trying to hide in the garden to sleep and defecate at night! The CBD and surrounding homes need assistance ASAP!

I grew up in Durbanville, went to school here and still live here. Terrible to see whats going on opposite primary school!!

I'm signing because this situation is way out of control

I want a clean and safe town.

I'm signing because I agree with this petition and would like this "tent settlement" removed with immediate effect. Our tax paying community should not be exposed to this on a daily basis as it poses a health and safety risk to all.

With no washing or toilet facilities there is no place for a tent town in our CBD

Gary Evans (Cape Town, 2022-07-14)

I’m signing as it is a safety problem. Health as there is no facilities. It’s unsightly. People cannot just occupy public parks and turn it into a squatter camp. They should be re- homed.

Rocher Muller (Durbanville, 2022-07-14)

The illegal squatters need to be removed as they pose a safety risk and are polluting our area.

Tania Burden (Cape Town, 2022-07-14)

I’m signing because it is a mess. No facilities rubbish all over and City of Cape Town has made money available to facilitate the street people at shelters

I live in Durbanville and it has become an absolute cesspool, I cannot believe how are beautiful Town has been allowed to turn into a squatter camp. It is no longer safe and it is a disgrace that nothing is being done. Where do our high taxes go to, obviously not looking after our community. It's disgusting.

Melody Kruger (Durbanville, 2022-07-14)

This is really getting out of hand and I’m just thinking of where do these people go to get rid of their human waste. It’s a health risk for the community and the tent people.

Monique Coetzee (Durbanville, 2022-07-14)

I have been concerned about the increased number of tents and the hygiene and lack of facilities for these people. Most of all that this is allegedly been encouraged by law enforcement for persons to settle at Baxter street.

Carla Godfrey (Durbanville, 2022-07-14)

We pay one heck of a lot of rates. We loved living in Durbanville but no more. Especially the CBD is a disgrace. Eventually all the rich people will leave.

Freda White (Cape Town, 2022-07-14)

This social problem cannot be permitted to continue and requires to be addressed urgently. The failure to address the problem would be to perpetuate conduct aimed at disregarding implementation and maintaining the rule of law, which promotes disorderly conduct at various levels by various people affected thereby.

Willem De Waal (Durbanville, 2022-07-14)

The tents on the open field opposite the church, off Durban Road, must be REMOVED!!!!
Residents of Durbanville must stand together and remove the tents!

Tent dorp on our doorstep in Durbanville is not acceptable.

Susanna Alida Smit (Durbanville, 2022-07-14)

It is our constitutional right not to have this health and safety hazard as tax payers.

Ernest de Bruin (Durbanville, 2022-07-14)

I am againt an informal settlement in Durbanville, right next to the primary school as per reasons explained in this open letter.

Marie-Louise Caldwell (Durbanville, 2022-07-14)

I am concerning about the kids in the nearby schools. There must be a better option for that tents.

Johanna M Le Roux (Cape Town, 2022-07-14)

We need to move this community to an appropriate place with basic facilities.

I live and the area, this is so disgusting- a health hazard. Really bringing out area down. My daughter attends durbanville primary and it’s scary that they have to be exposed to all of this, what will it be in a few years from now, when they are older

Candice Campbell (Durbanville, 2022-07-14)

I care about the area where my children will grow up and go to school.

Jan Binneman (Durbanville, 2022-07-14)

#694

People’s properties are loosing value, it is
across from a primary school and young children should not be subjected to that.

Coetzee Albert (Durbanville, 2022-07-14)

#697

It's creating a president and social bad behaviour. Security and hygiene problems since no ablutions fire hazard and safety for primary school kids. Looks like rubbish dump!!!

Johan Van Tonder (Durbanville, 2022-07-14)

Dit is absoluut onaanvaarbaar vir ons as belasting betalers!! Uiterse swak indruk vir besoekers en 'n groooot gevaar, arrogansie!!!

I stay in the Crescent. The arrival of the new residents of “tent city” has lead to an undeniable increase in petty crime in our area. This has resulted in a few of my neighbours leaving the area. Furthermore, the garbage left in the area as a result of the massive increase in the homeless population is appalling. All of my appeals to the various authorities have gone unanswered.

Our beautiful dorpie has turned into a slum! This is totally unacceptable!

Heidi Menezes (Durbanville, 2022-07-15)

#717

This was and is a problem that had to be tackled when it started. That is no place for an informal settlement across from a primary school and in a residential area.

I am not satisfied with the vagrants setting up camp in our town.

Gerhard Oosthuizen (Durbanville, 2022-07-15)

#733

This is unacceptable, a health and safety hazard. Suddenly we also now have an increase in strollers through our neighborhood.

Marietjie Van der Westhuizen (Durbanville, 2022-07-15)

This is a crime and health hazard that destroys the beauty and value of the area.

ND Van Niekerk (Durbanville, 2022-07-15)

#735

As a oncerned resident, property owner and tax payer I would like to see that this "tent dorpie" will be removed as soon as possible. It is unhygienic, (they use the open field for toilets, they steal water at houses in the neighbourhood). Washing is hanging all over the place. Value of properties decreases. Let them go back wherever they coming from. Can't see why they can't be removed, in Knysna the red ants removed tents where they didn't belong. Follow them...

Ilse Visser (Durbanville, 2022-07-15)

They are a health hazard and it is not an appropriate place for them to be living

Daryl Schmidt (Cape Town, 2022-07-15)

#740

I am standing behind what is said. Action needs to be taken against the tent residents as this is both inhumane to live in such conditions and it also degrades our suburb.

Julius Fleischman (Durbanville, 2022-07-15)

There needs to be a sustainable and fair way to accommodate indigent people. Part of the solution is to make the places these people come from more habitable. Perhaps Durbanville could "adopt" such a place and arrange money and resources to help improve it.

Gareth Hayton (Durbanville, 2022-07-15)

#745

This is not the location to start a tent town. It is a health hazard and a security risk to the nearby primary school, residential area and businesses.

The situation has reached completely unacceptable levels and something needs to be done.

James de Wet (Durbanville, 2022-07-15)

The occupation of public open space is an illegal act and in violation of several laws. The local authority has the right to act and the obligation to enforce the law; their failure to do so is a violation in its own right.

Hennie Fritz (Durbanville Cape Town, 2022-07-15)

I would like to see that the tent residents be transfered to a place where there are facilities for them to use.

It is a disgrace how weak the local councillars are.

It is ridiculous that people stay in area without the necessary water etc

This is unacceptable... We pay rates so want CLEAN.. SAFE... TOWNS
WAKE UP ANC... SORT THE MESS YOU CREATED

Linda Wilson (Cape Town, 2022-07-15)

Im signing because the occupation of land is illegal, and better solutions need to be found for homeless people.

Chris Stofberg (Durbanville, 2022-07-15)

These tents are detrimental to the value of multiple of my properties in Durbanville.

Enough is enough. These vagrants can return to Eastern Cape, Graaff Reinet or wherever they come from.

I do not want an informal settlement on an open public area within a residential suburb.

Eldon van der Merwe (Cape Town, 2022-07-15)

#799

Because everyone wants free land and don’t pay for anything as a resident of the area we pay up to our ears for municipal charges, water, electricity etc!!!
