I used to do most of my shopping in 13th Street, but I do not feel safe there any longer and therefore am avoiding the area.

I am a weekly customer at Le Petit Fleur, the green grocer. I am Rina Lemmer were accosted in June at the ATM’s in the morning on 13th street. Fortunately we shouted at the men and they left although they tried to grab our credit cards. We reported the incident to the Manager at Spar. As a result I have never gone back to Spar or the ATM.

I do not feel save in this area any more We bought our house 32 years ago and I feel not save in the area at the Spar or Post Office.It is not the same area and need to be looked after or people will not shop there any more. One Saturday I went to Spar when people fight and throw stones at each other I never went back to Spar since my experience that Saturday and will not go back until I know it is save again and there is more security in the area that do not allow the crime in that area

Janette Sievers (Menlo Park, 2020-09-26)

The crime levels at the Spar is becoming concerning, not only are you fighting your way through beggars and street sales, but you are the target of burglars that follow you home.

Zuleka Jasper (Pretoria, 2020-09-26)

This area has become dangerous, a number of people have been assaulted in the last few months. On weekends, it isn’t safe to walk from your car to Spar without being harassed. Drinking in public.

Samantha Reuning (Pretoria, 2020-09-26)

I always use Menlo Spar. But if it carries on like this, I would rather support Glenfair and drive a few kilometers extra for my and my child and grand parents safety.

The congregation of vagrants especially at the Menlopark Post office makes for an environment in which the public is subjected to threats and intimidation. I was personally threatened by vagrants close to my postbox. The area is filthy with liquor being consumed in public.

I'm signing because the problems at 13th Street Menlopark have escalated to such a point that I'm considering not going there anymore. I feel harassed by some beggars and I don't mind giving. Something has to be done. A serious clean up and check up on a regular basis.

I am a concerned resident of Lynnwood and demand more attention to safety in our environment.

Johann Du Plessis (Pretoria, 2020-09-26)

#145

I am signing because I use the Post Office there and are sometimes too scared to park and get out, because I have been confronted there before and I’m scared of being ambushed. My mom also has to go there and I’m scared for her safety. My friend has a shop there in Greenlyn and this crime is really detrimental to the area. I used to walk there as a kid on my way home from school, as I’m sure many kids still do, but it is not safe for them anymore.

I’m a shopper there but I don’t feel safe.

I definitely do not feel safe when going to 13th Street in Menlo Park to do shopping. On more than one occasion I have felt unsafe because of car guards arguing over who should be paid for the area I parked in. Once the money was even thrown back onto my lap whilst sitting in my car. You cannot go there and not be harassed by someone wanting something from you. I really like many of the shops there, but mostly choose to go elsewhere because of safety concerns.

Annalene Holtzhausen (Pretoria, 2020-09-27)

Crime. Unsafe and the drug dealing

No sane and civilized person can consider shopping at Menlo Spar for safety reasons. I sat there for an hour one day to observe and the lawless activity and harassment of shoppers are absolutely appalling. Won't go there unless absolutely necessary.

Alida Nel (Pretoria, 2020-09-27)

I am signing this petition because I am a resident in the area and I feel it's very important to curb crime in our areas for the safety of all residents and our children. We need to be free to do and move freely in our our spaces and environment.

As a community member of Lynnwood and surrounding ward 82 in greater Tshwane Metropolitan its in my best interest to have save streets that I could safely raise my children in.

Something needs to be done urgently. It is an unsafe area at which I do not shop any longer, for that very reason.

I'm signing because I am tired of living in fear... Not only when going to the Spar, but also at home. I also live in Menlo Park and I'm tired of being scared. Being a single mom this is even more stressful with the crime in the area.

Mary van Ede (Pretoria, 2020-09-27)

I am afraid to go to the Menlo Spar. I often get harassed by people looking for handouts / selling things I do not want. The SPAR there is excellent and I use the Post Office there but I stay away because I do not feel safe!

I reside in Waterkloof just off Dely drugsxsold at Post Office boxes and the elderly and residents vulnerable. Ladies that work at various shops have mentioned they feel unsafe when the knock off duty. Very very bad for business. Waterkloof is going the same way and Thanknyou councillor this is not only for residents but all involved in the precinct pedestrians joggers workers business owners

The crime in Lynnwood and Menlopark is ridiculous. All the beggars and taxis parking every where. The car guards are arrogant and pestering all the shoppers!
