Rape, drugs, under age patrons, and murder are the norm now in this area. Noise pollution from the strip at night.

Merike Werth (Pretoria, 2022-10-12)

#25

I am a high school teacher in the area and are fully aware of the underage drinking, as well as sexual assault happening in the establishments.
And this has been happening since 2017.

I have teenagers who are underage.
My sixteen year old daughter has been served alcohol there without any questions (I had given her permission for one drink).
The noise is too much (I live in Menlo Park).
There’s a worrying element, it doesn’t feel safe. It’s crowded and out of control.

Faye Garner (Pretoria , 2022-10-12)

I am disturbed by the noise and crime transgressing national legislation and local bylaws and the woeful lack of enforcement from authorities.

As taxpayer it is my right

Maria De Witt (Pretoria, 2022-10-12)

We are kept awake every night by the noise from the music and cars racing down the road. The crime has gotten out of control and there seems to be no real intervention by the police!

Shakira Benadie-Marais (Pretoria, 2022-10-12)

I support this petition because the issue at hand is a real and worsening problem. It is not only affecting the involved and vulnerable youth and the surrounding neighborhoods, but it also contributes to the constant undermining of the SAPS and the strengthening of the crime syndicates.

Thomas Dreyer (Pretoria, 2022-10-12)

#62

I’m signing because the Strip needs to come to an end

The noise from the Strip in Lynnwood Rd, night after night until the early hours of the morning is disturbing. The area has become a hotbed of crime and is not safe. Bylaws are being transgressed without any consequences.

Robyn Arnold (Pretoria , 2022-10-12)

#77

I’m a student who use to go to these clubs and I’ve seen with my own eyes the terrible things that go on there. I’ve been robbed there as well and I live close by.
The police get bribes from the club owners there which is why nothing is being done or enforced there.

Wouter De Wet (Pretoria, 2022-10-12)

#78

Crime is out of control and the Provincial Commissioner need to step in.

I am signing this petition because our youth are being exposed to drugs, under age drinking and many other unsavoury actions.

Lucas Luckhoff (Pretoria , 2022-10-13)

The strip is an eyesore and hotbed for criminal activity. Our kids are not safe. Underage drinking is rife in bars like Fokof, Varsity Bar and Latinos.

Bruce Collins (Pretoria, 2022-10-13)

The crime is escalating and it is drawing criminals into the suburbs.

Fritz Thirion (Gauteng , 2022-10-13)

#120

I want a crime-free city and believe if a blind-eye is turned on areas like the strip, it will only become a breeding ground for organised crime.

Stephan Swart (Pretoria, 2022-10-13)

This is a terrible influence in the young people that use this area.

Ursula Stewart (Pretoria, 2022-10-13)

Extreme musical and singing nouse, we cannot sleep at night, students cannot study in the evening or at night. Motorbike and motor vehicle racing in the early morning hours between 1am and 3am. Our children and students are exposed to drugs, alcohol abuse and assault. This is not acceptable!!

Hentie Noetje (Pretoria , 2022-10-13)

#124

I am signing because it is a hazard to travel there at night and the crime and noise are unacceptable.

Magda Steenkamp (Pretoria , 2022-10-13)

#125

It is high time that SAPS does something about the crime, drugs, noise and intimidation that sprout from The Strip. SAPS is complicit if they don’t do anything to stop this!

Yolanda Van Der Vyver (Pretoria, 2022-10-13)

#127

It is dark, dangerous and not conducive to good values for our youth.
Motorists almost every night has to evade people in the street.

Werner Johnson (Oretoria, 2022-10-13)

#128

Activities in the area are unlawful and disruptive to others in the community.

Brendon Gass (Pretoria, 2022-10-13)

#130

I agree with the statement made by the petition. I am the prent of students and care for their safety. The strip is a very dangerous place for unsespecting young people.

Lynnwood is a beautiful, old suburb. We want peace and quiet, a safe environment for all, without nightclubs and noise and criminal activities. Thank you.

#136

Unfortunately there is no law and order in our country as I watch the destruction cycle in action like a cancerous cell. As parents we also have to take control of our children’s welfare - have curfews in place, know where they are, teach them right from wrong but the police force need the passion as in any job for something to succeed, but in saying that they need the resources to do their jobs. Motivation and management work hand in hand.

Beth De Beer (Pretoria, 2022-10-13)

makes the area unsafe

We have first hand experience where our son was allowed entrance without our knowledge from age 16. The drugs and dealings going on there is criminal. Murder?!!! Behind the club.....

I travel through this area and see what is going on. I work for the University and know many students. A child of mine also studies there. Young people should be protected. Get rid of the thugs.

Significant increase of crime in the area as well as noise levels from parties in The Strip area in the evenings till late

Unacceptable escalating crime as well as noise levels

Safety is increasingly becoming an issue at The Strip, but little to no police presence is visible when the demand is high.

Wiehann Dumon (Pretoria , 2022-10-13)

#169

I have seen and heard many terrible stories of how young people get assaulted by bouncers and owners of the clubs. The police are not doing anything about it.

Simonne Dreyer (Pretoria, 2022-10-13)

#170

I live in the nearby area and have a child whose friends have been affected.

#176

I drive past the strip to church and I always feel extremely unsafe as a woman driving at night. My friend was also assaulted at night during a sit down meal there and was hospitalized.

Anya Klopper (Pretoria, 2022-10-13)

#182

People have got to be held to account for their unacceptable behaviour.

Gail Bloemink (Pretoria , 2022-10-13)

My son was brutally attacked at Latino's

Bertie Koch (Pretoria, 2022-10-13)

#187

I’m signing because I myself am a resident of the area and a student who goes to the strip. The strip has been a dangerous place for many young people, especially women. Many of female friends have had their drinks spiked with an array of drugs. Latinos specifically has been a problem for many students, with bouncers being aggressive and bar tenders not serving water to drunk patrons. I myself, along with many other friends, do not go to Latinos anymore due to the dangers that are there. Drug dealers, aggressive bouncers, prostitution, and corruption should not be the norm.
As a female student, I want a safe place to go out too without fearing what may happen to me.

Braedene Bevan (Pretoria, 2022-10-13)

#188

I live in the area. The noise and the pollution is unbearable. The drivers also don't adhere to the rules and safety in that area.

Philip Loots (Pretoria, 2022-10-13)

#192

I have seen some awful things happening at Hatfield strip - especially latinos bistro but I am too scared to say anything because of how dangerous those people are. I have seen kids getting beaten up, drugged, mugged and sent to hospital.

Something needs to be done about this

Anonymous Anonymous (Pretoria, 2022-10-13)

#193

This is totally unacceptable to have such places across a university hostel and next to a residential area. And also to let minors visit pubs are not acceptable.

Jeremy Van den Heever (Pretoria , 2022-10-13)

#194

The number of serious incidents in this area cannot be allowed to continue. There is a common denominator in the area, but it seems that it is overlooked or a blind eye turned to the obvious criminality in the area.

Andrew Lesch (Pretoria, 2022-10-13)

#195

I am signing because the music is deafening and disrupts the whole suburb. Even more disturbing, is all the crime associated with these establishments. Open drug sales, brawling, sex in the street. A menace

Gerda Malherbe (Pretoria, 2022-10-13)

#198

It is extremely dangerous for our vulnerable youth who are put under peer pressure to participate.

Kate Prinsloo (Pretoria , 2022-10-13)

#199

I want to get rid of this rathole criminal attraction near me
