I am against this act of bulldozing the country club as the club employees will loose their jobs and currently employed are Soweto youth from the Area and bring international visitors to Soweto

i agree with the sentiments shared - besides - what do they want to
do
with the piece of land where the clubhouse is situated?

I'm signing because this is morally unjust and a further undemining of the advancement of black people. The country and Soweto residents need this club and the clubhouse.

I am against the bulldozing of the Soweto Country Club, Club House. This is the only facility that brings pride to Sowetans, particularly the poor and forgotten. Hands Off

This is the only township club in South Africa. As South Africans we fought to have things that belong to us and we can be proud of.

The City of Soweto needs a world class facility to continue is historical place in South Africa & the world.

I’m signing this because this is one of the only few remaining landmarks in Soweto. The City has gone to great lengths to make sure the facilities are built and maintained. The people of Pimville and golfers must oppose this.

This cannot be right in any community. A beautiful atmosphere to enjoy the game has been created at the club and the clubhouse is integral to that.

I'm signing this petition because I'm one of the professional golfers who come from Soweto country club and the golf course it's self offered me an opportunity to know the game and it would be the saddest thing to see my golf club been bull dozed. The community mostly been disadvantaged blacks benefit from the golf course and the youth been the future, they aslo benefit . I Say No To The Golf Course Club House Being Destroyed.

Our townships deserve to have local golf courses easily accessible to the young talent that should be coming from our Townships

SCC is one of the few green hubs in Soweto, and should be preserved for the use of all Sowetans.

I am a residence and a golf player at Siweto Country Club. Golf has made me the gentleman that I am today. It is an inspiring sports for young Black(Brown skin) kids within Soweto. It also
attracts tourists to boost the economy of Soweto. Most caddies make a leaving wage and they are depending on it to put bread on the table for their family. It is such a pity to be black in this day age where our rights are being violated like this. Having a sports ground is our right, especially after putting so much effort in it. The quality and beauty of this course surpurses many Golf Courses in the whole world. I say this because I have brought international tourists to play there since I am in the Movie Industry. Well known international actors and actress have played in the newly renovated Soweto Country Club so far and they loved it and bowed to come back and to spread the word.

Gary Player, The South African World Champion, has supported and even help to designed the course himself.
So many Movies, Documentaries, Teality Shows, TV Series and Social media shows that are and will be shot about the SCC, and will be featured too. This will add to help to put Soweto as a whole in the World's Map. More Tourists attraction to Soweto will change the mindset of the tourist only thinking of violence about us and will also give our young man and women ideas of being innovative.
So many future investment to come for SCC, therefore...

I DO NOT SUPPORT THE DEMOLITION OF ANY PART OF SOWETO COUNTRY CLUB OR OF ANY KIND.

Township golf is far behind and this is the only aspiration for black child. there are many government land where they should use for any development of any kind

I am signing because we are going to lose the only golf course we have in Soweto and we don't know how, why and when it was sold.
As a community of Soweto we are concerned and need clarification on this matter.

They must stop trying to destroy what belongs to the people of Soweto ; we need social impact projects in Soweto to help and change lives of people of Soweto; and this Golf Course is one such project.

I demand that this arrogant action by those who have illicitly gained ownership of this land be investigated immediately and the club house be left as is and be guaranteed that it will never again be threatened with demolition.

I fully support that the Soweto Country Club should be protected from demolition. It represents the vision of many Sowetans in building a resource that has served generations of people in Soweto and beyond. Its history needs to be recorded, respected abd honoured - not erased as proposed.

Marjorie Jobson (Pretoria , 2022-09-29)

I'm signing this petition because I strongly believe that some is not right. How can a club house that so many put energy to build among others my own father be sold illegal to someone who does not even stay in Soweto and the only club house we have in Soweto.

Sello Mlangeni (Soweto , 2022-09-30)

We should be building more golfing facilities in many townships, villages and other places where the majority of the previously disadvantaged people live, instead of destroying the few we have.

I fully subscribe to the aim, values and ethos of the club, being a Sowetan myself and having played there from time to time. It must not be allowed to be demolished or destroyed. It should in fact be used as an iconic landmark of Soweto and the country. STOP THE DEMOLITION

Tsepe Motumi (Johannesburg , 2022-10-02)

I would like the Soweto Country Club House spared for the reasons already stated. It would probably be a good thing to publicize the name of the evil person behind the demolition in social media of all forms to expose them what they are.
