Concern parent and community member:
It has become the norm for our children to attend school like this.
Our ward (ward 11) used to be a place that neighbouring wards envied. Now it is infested with sewage spillages and drugs. When applying for jobs and they see which ward you are from, you get sent away.
The sewage spillage starts at the Bronville stadium in Waterboer Street, and opposite the Bronville parlour. It then flows down to the high school, causing children to encounter problems when entering the school premises.
Can someone in power please assist us in this matter?
We have a police station and its officers are not assisting our residents at all. They want you to say something before they can intervene.
What happened to police patrolling and doing it within their authority?
Nowadays a police officer needs to ask for permission before they can search you, even when they know they have the right to search and arrest you if you have illegal items on you.
For those who are managing our ward and taking the ward’s money for their own gain, they need to be apprehended. The budget is there to assist our ward and people come from outside and are benefitting.
Like the contractor that comes to clean the dumping sites; it is someone from outside our ward who is benefitting from our people’s lack of understanding how things work. They make a mess everywhere and get away with it.
Please investigate this matter and let those responsible be brought to book.
