NEW TENT RESIDENTS DURBANVILLE

Comments

#1402

As a Durbanville home owner I expect from the local authority to ensure the value of my investment is protected and to maintain good law and order governance – this squatters camp within Durbanville is a direct threat to the community and must be removed

It is an embarrassing for me to live in such a beautiful town with a newly founded tented camp at the entrance of our town. I love camping, but then it should be in a designated area where there is suitable sanitary facilities.

I can't believe this has been allowed to spiral out of control. It is unhygienic and a health hazard.

Shelley Malherbe (Cape Town, 2022-07-15)

I witness this on a daily basis.
This is unacceptable due to no facilities available (health) and due the destruction that is taking place of the common space

The tent community is growing rapidly and definitely poses a high risk to the children attending Durbanville Primary School and the safety of Durbanville residents.
These people must urgently be relocated to a more suitable location with ablution facilities.

Our community will be negatively affected by the lawlessness that is happening.

This is totally unacceptable when shelters for these people exist

John Goslin (Durbanville, 2022-07-15)

I hate illegal activities.

I am signing because we need to help the people without housing and relocate them to places with acceptable living conditions. The homelessness problem in Cape Town is growing, and it needs to be addressed.

Durbanville becoming a wasteland,thanks to the councilors created it ,taxi area,the ones sleeping in our pavements and now tent world.

Christo Saayman (Capetown, 2022-07-15)

This is getting out of hand and for the safety of our community especially the children they need to be removed.

Bianca Downey (Durbanville, 2022-07-15)

I live in Durbanville and the crime has increased in the area drastically
It is an absolute eye sore in the middle of our town.
I am unable to walk my dog as the area is dirty and unhygienic

Danielle Raban (Western cape, 2022-07-15)

I stay close by.
Not a good sight at all

This situation are a huge problem. Please relocate the people and keep our Durbanville free from tent and squatter camps!

Shocking shocking shocking

Raised several C3 complaint. All tickets were closed without resolution. Raised the issue with local councilor who failed to respond.

Stephen Stander (Durbanville, 2022-07-15)

I'm signing in because i am deeply concerned about this development, and its ripple effects.

Yolanda Naude (Cape Town, 2022-07-15)

We pay rates and taxes to keep our town clean and safe! The tent villages are growing daily, no sanitation or water services are paid for by these illegal residents!

Daryll Hollenberg (Durbanville, 2022-07-15)

#1450

I was previously on the ward committee for 112 and we were told that it was only covid regulations holding back the removal

Kym Clayton (Durbanville, 2022-07-15)

#1455

There should not be a tent town as you enter our beautiful Durbanville

Lydia Huisamen (Cape town, 2022-07-15)

#1462

I don't agree with squatting whatsoever. It should not be the rate payers responsibility. We already pay such exorbitant rates and taxes and now we have to take care of the squatters who do nothing for society. They don't do anything for the community. They are takers and users.

Wendy Worthington (Bellville, 2022-07-15)

#1467

I agree with the open letter and the problem needs to be addressed.

Pierre Du Plessis (Durbanville, 2022-07-15)

#1472

Value of property is going down. It's causes people walking to school and busstops feel unsave as this is bringing undesirable elements to the area under the light of these innocent homeless people . Point also that street lighting is very bad in area.

Helen Williams (Durbanville, 2022-07-15)

#1474

Not good for our environment

Madelein Coetzee (Bellville, 2022-07-15)

#1480

What is the use to have municipal regulations, but they are not enforced? Then I can build onto my house or run a liquor store from my property without consequences either.

Monique Vernooy (Durbanville, 2022-07-15)

#1484

This is a health hazard and not safe

Jemine Smith (Durbanville, 2022-07-15)

#1485

I complained in the initial stages of tent town but was told that nothing could be done due to Covid restrictions. These no longer apply and the problem is increasing. Do something before people are hurt!

Gaye Faber (Cape Town, 2022-07-15)

#1486

We have to work quickly in order to stop this getting more out of hand- everywhere these settlements are just popping up. And this will create so much problems in the future. We pay enough rates and taxes, so we can live in a clean and safe area! And big bond repayments monthly.

Anandi Mostert (Bellville, 2022-07-15)

#1491

Unhealty circumstances.... no toilets, washing facilities etc. and it will have an affect on valuation of properties.

Magda Kotze (Durbanville, 2022-07-15)

#1492

It is becoming dangerous to walk along the road as the vagrants harras the people walking by. It is across a primary school and the children are in danger.

Paula Mulder (Cape Town, 2022-07-15)

#1494

We cannot tolerate informal settlements being allowed to develop in built up areas where no facilities exist for human settlement. Land can be made available in Phesantekraal for them to settle on

Len Becker (Durbanville, 2022-07-15)

#1498

I agree wholeheartedly with the author of the petition. Apart from being an eyesore, these tent people pose a huge health hazard.

Teresa Jackson (Cape Town, 2022-07-15)

#1499

I have a business in Baxterstreet about 100 metres away from these tents. It devalues an upmarket area; it undermines law and order and sets a dangerous precedent.

Ronél Kemp (Cape Town, 2022-07-15)

#1500

Lockdown is over and the excuses are done. This is not an "everywhere" problem. Brackenfell nipped it in the butt, why can't Durbanville do the same.

Kristi Beitz (Durbanville, 2022-07-15)

It is a disgrace for our beautiful town!

Martin Smuts (Durbanville, 2022-07-15)

I grew up here, and seeing this hurts me inside.
How is this even possible?

I'm signing this petition because this situation can not be healthy, human remains and also right in the public eye.

Steve De Kock (Durbanville, 2022-07-15)

#1511

I have had enough of this. It is illegal and it is becoming a security and health risk.

Dawid Breet (Cape Town, 2022-07-15)

#1512

I agree with the above. And exactly as the tenters have rights, so de we.

Whilst we all understand the socio economic past that created much of their hardship ... we shoulder the burden of paying a significant tax bill... surely this can accord us a clean and pretty environment in which to live and our businesses to prosper for the good of all citizens.

Peter Kern (Durbanville, 2022-07-15)

#1514

I am signing this petition because I live in the area and worry about not only mine but my child’s safety

Michaela Chinnian (Cape Town, 2022-07-15)

Because I only want to know what it feels like to be safe

Sanet Sharper (Cape Town, 2022-07-15)

I want to help keep our beautifull town safe and clean.

Aldea Anker (Bellville, 2022-07-15)

The tents are nit only an eye sore but also a harbour for criminal activities and drug related issues. Durbanville has become a dangerous town with increasing crimes.

Juanita Marais (Cape Town, 2022-07-15)

#1522

I'm signing because I do not feel it is right to allow an informal tent settlement to form in the centre of our town and right near a school

Emily van der Merwe (Durbanville, 2022-07-15)

This is a big proplam in Durbanville!

I am concerned about the safety of my children.

Shona Loots (Durbanville, 2022-07-15)

It is not hygienic, healthy or safe for the residents or tent dwellers

Caron Burger (Cape Town, 2022-07-15)

#1538

If I wanted squatters for neighbors, I would have purchased property in a squatter camp.These tent dwellers contribute zero to the economy while the residents of Durbanville pay for the privilege of residing in Durbanville, while the crime increased rapidly since they moved in.Also the health risks as they have no toilet facilities

Chris Greyling (Durbanville, 2022-07-15)

#1544

I want the squatters to be remove in durbanville as they are illegal and cause a lot of problems and is a security risk due to break ins. They also act aggressively.

Annette Diedericks (Durbanville, 2022-07-15)

I think this unacceptable situation has escalated and solutions need to be found asap

My neighbour was broken into and goods where stolen from inside the house,the criminals and goods stolen where found at this exact tent site! It’s a huge problem and sore sight on the eyes driving into durbanville

Durbanville was my home town for many many years, from Prep School thru Matric and beyond, and only recently moved away. Its heartsore to see these tents pop up everywhere with zero facilities and an absolute eyesore. There must by better options in assisting these tent residents.

I am a concerned resident with young schoolgoing children.

I live here and it is disgusting!!! They are right in front of young children at school, using the toilet on the grass!!!! Gross

#1586

I live around the corner from this settlement and residents in my complex have been robbed and the stolen goods found amongst the residents of this tent community. They have in the past started a fire that became out of control right across the road from my complex on Racecourse road

This is a serious health and safety hazard both to those living in these tents and to the surrounding residents and businesses.
