I'm signing because of the reasons above. The facilities provide an area and opportunity for community members especially the youth to avoid delinquency and dangerous activities and rather focus on sport and building relationships within the community.

#106

I've used those sporting facilities since the late 80's as well as just recently. It's a sporting monument in Kimberley that cannot be taken away.

Andrew Boraine (Kimberley, 2023-02-09)

#107

As a former Kimberlite and sportsman, I grew up playing at De Beers stadium and at the moment that is one of the few decent sports facilities that's left and that can still provide our youth and the
community the recreational facility that is so desperately needed. There is many other buildings they can restore and use , why mess up this.

Noel Daniels (Florida, 2023-02-09)

#108

#119

I am signing this, because I want to stop the Municipality from renting out the Skilpadsaal as it is a sports facility that I've used and supported for almost all my life. There are so few activities for young people and people in general to enjoy and now they want to take this away too! No! It has to stop!

Daynna Augustine (Kimberley , 2023-02-09)

#120

Kimberley already does not have enough sporting facilities. This is the only indoor facility for soccer and hockey. Taking this away will leave even less facilities available for sport. As parents we try as far as possible to involve our children in sport to steer them away from the streets and illicit behaviour and habits. To know that we will have less sporting time due to this plan saddens our hearts and takes away sporting development.

Anisa Boraine (Kimberley , 2023-02-09)

#121

Our kids have so few venues and this is the only indoor venue used for their Indoor league during Feb / March as well as winter practices on Saturday mornings. Should Sol Plaatje not be doing more to encourage sport amongst our youth and ensuring the availability of such venues?

Melanie Collings (Kimberley, 2023-02-09)

#125

Skilpadsaal is an essential building in Kimberley for not only youth but for adults as well. It is the only place where people can play soccer and enjoy some leisure time which doesn't involve the use of intoxicants and is condusive for the youth. The skilpasaal is still currently still being used almost everyday so it does not make sense to close down a building that is being used and will continue to be used everyday.

Rayhaan Hassan (Johannesburg, 2023-02-09)

#128

The local community is using the building to play indoor games.

Mohsin Mookrey (Kimberley , 2023-02-09)

#138

I am opposed to the use of recreational and sport facilities other than what they are purposed for. The area is more in an residential area than industrial and the business intended for errection is industrial medical waste AND not suitable for this area we reside in.

Jaco Pieterse (Kimberley, 2023-02-09)

#139

I'm signing because I live in De Beers and was not informed or provided any information prior to the Notice that was issued by Sol Plaatje Municipality. The community of De Beers and surrounding areas need the Sports facilities for recreational purposes.

The surgical factory and warehouse does not serve the community as a recreational facility, it is more hazardous to the environment than assistance. It will be harmful to the community and its surrounding areas.

Tumey Moseki (Kimberley, 2023-02-09)

Natalie Kruger (Kimberley, 2023-02-10)

#170

There are so many reasons why but the most important one of all, is to continue to encourage wellness and health in the Kimberley community, with most of our recreational facilities being shut down due to structural inadequacies it is absolutely unfair that the only functional facility be shut down for financial gain.

It is a sporting facility used by hockey and soccer players

Marcelle Dooling (Kimberley, 2023-02-10)

#178

It is not the right place for storage. Skilpadsaal is utilized by all kinds of sporting codes to host indoor games due to weather conditions and it is the ONLY indoor venue. Unless the developer is prepared to give the Community a new equipped similar facility for sporting events.

Annamarie Jacobs (Kimberley, 2023-02-11)

I agree with this petition. We can see with the increase of scholars in schools that there is definitely a need for more for our children.

Kelly Dennis (Kimberley, 2023-02-12)

#195

As a fellow sportsman im signing this because over the past 3-4 years we as a sporting community have come across issues when it comes to booking sport facilities and loosing this vicinity would make organising sporting events more challenging increasing the scarcity of proper sports events.
