Strandfontein residents against moving 2000 people into the area

Comments

I'm a resident of Strandfontein and we as residents were not consulted with regards to the homeless being moved to our sports grounds. There are so many other sports complexes with so much more to offer, yet they literally get dumped here. Fast forward to when lockdown is over and they will not want to move the we are stuck with an increase in crime and the values of our homes decreased. The residents would all want to sell their homes eventually. Inconsiderate of the City of Cape Town to make such decisions without Strandfontein residents consent.

Me as a resident in strandfontein was not consulted. Crime sure will be on the rise, people will start moving around and start begging and moving around, water on that sport field was contaminated that affected us in strandfontein being without water for almost 2 weeks, policing in this area not enough but those who make the rules are not affected because they don't live here

I am against it. This area is supposed to be a safe neighborhood

Wardah Jacobs (Cape Town, 2020-04-02)

I don't want those idiots to mess up my area. Drugs are already an issue, imagine bringing more of these kinds of people. Traffic will be worse. Go build houses for these guys in constancia

This move will negatively affect my property value

I am all for humanity but what happens after lockdown, then all the politicians disappear.

Residence must be consulted

We will not have 4000 extra people in our area, why dnt they use Seapoint and Constantia sports grounds

Ester Fisher (Strandfontein, 2020-04-02)

I disagree that this should be used . There is no homeless in our area . Those that are on streets have homes to go to .this is a sports facility meant for recreation

Jacques Graham (Cape town, 2020-04-02)

#426

Am signing because I am appalled how we the residents are being treated. We do not have enough facilities to keep the youth off the street and know the only sports field is being taken away. Mention was made that it would be temporary, but history has taught us that temporary is a word not be be used idly. What is going to happen to the future of our youth, what is going to happen to our seniors who is in no position to re-root themselves....

Patti Clark (Cape Town, 2020-04-02)

Our rate payers association was not consulted about this. There will be negative implications for people in our area after the lockdown

Debbie Scholtz (Cape Town, 2020-04-02)

#431

Because this is not the place to put people it's gona get cold in winter

Ross Mitchell (Cape Town, 2020-04-02)

This is not the best option for the homeless as well as the Strandfontein community.

Denise Brown (Cape Town, 2020-04-02)

#435

I am concerned about
1. the condition of the fields in the aftermath. The kids have already lost out on so much playtime
2. The possibility that this will be a long-term, maybe permanent arrangement
3. The threat of protests [as has been seen at other locations] which will servery impact work travel
4. Crime
5. Lack of containment. Will there be permanent stations of observation around the entire perimeter?

Ainslie Cupido (Cape Town, 2020-04-02)

#437

I dont want this move to happen. Its going to cause the homeless, squatting permanently in the area, creating problems fir us the working class

Kyle Davids (Cape Town, 2020-04-02)

#438

The needs of these homeless people are not being considered. More immediately suitable facilities are available eg newlands stadium, cape town stadium etc.

Secondly the aftermath and the Strandfontein Community at large and their concerns and needs are being blatantly disregarded.

Aldino Arendse (Cape Town, 2020-04-02)

#439

The city decided this without consulting the Strandfontein community, we were faced with a water contamination issue and did not even get feedback.

Riyaad Hess (Cape Town, 2020-04-02)

#443

Why can't these people be housed at Greenpoint Stadium is it because this is a coloured community? We also pay rates and taxes why must it be into our community and not any white community?

Ruth Adams (Cape town, 2020-04-02)

#448

I'm a resident of Strandfontein, I have not been consulted or contacted about moving refugees in my area and I oppose this proposed move.

Shaheed Gabier (Strandfontein, 2020-04-02)

#450

The residents of this area were not asked regarding this. What about green point stadium or green point park. Why don't they use that?

Nathan Cheemee (Bayview, 2020-04-02)

#452

I sign because the health of all of us that lives here is Strandfontein will be in danger. The old people is the most vulnerable of all. And there are bigger sports field in the rich peoples areas why not put the camp up there. Cape town stadium, athlone stadium, the sports fields in constantia, UCT, UWC, WHY HERE BY US. SORRY NOT HERE NOT NOW!!!

Ingrid Pillay (Strandfontein, 2020-04-02)

I'm against having people being place that's inhumane..facilities are not adequate for anyone to stay at..

Carla Clorte (Cape Town, 2020-04-02)

#455

I cannot believe that this is the best place to house the people. It seems that this is dumping spot.
Here isnt even enough amenities for the people that reside in the area, let alone an additional 2000 people
What will happen after lockdown is lifted?
Our police station is not equipped to deal with additional challenges....they can barely cope with the current challenges
Why wasnt cape town stadium used? Or another sports field in the green leaf suburbs?
I'm sure there is a community centre somewhere that will serve this cause?

Its insulting that the residents was not approached about this matter

Chantelle Williams (Cape town, 2020-04-02)

I TAMSYN WAGNER am against moving 2000 people being moved into my area.

Kind regards

I am not confident that the policing will be effective.
There are other facilities with higher walls and facilities already set up that can be utilised

Belinda Ohlsson (Cape Town, 2020-04-02)

#466

I'm against this as this is going to open up our are to crime. I've got children. That I need to protect. Take the people to Constantia and bishops court. Tell them this nonsense story. Im sick of this government only looking after certain people. People who don't even pay taxes or electricity.

Joy Bartlett (Cape Town, 2020-04-02)

#472

There's a moerse stadium with perfect ablution facilities and running water that is standing completely empty.amd not being used

Dayyan Leach (Cape town, 2020-04-02)

I don't want other people to come In and bring the virus with them. They don't stick to the rules. We must protect our families.

Tania Lakay (Cape Town, 2020-04-02)

I'm again the moving of homeless to our sports flied why not put them in shelters for the homeless, here is so many elderly folk staying in Strandfontein WHY our sports flied where our kids have there sports think before you act totally against its not discriminating just concern about the hole homeless suggestion cos there many other places and shelters why messing our beautiful sprot fields #

Risk to the community already battling elements

Vaiga Liemens (Strandfontein, 2020-04-02)

#484

I am afraid of the consequences of having the homeless setup on the sportsfield, that is, the crime, vagrancy, begging, boycotting for more services, then we gonna have more people coming and joining, eventually we gonna have an informal settlement on this sportsfield.

Kurt Europa (Cape Town, 2020-04-02)

I do not believe that Strandfontein should be the place for this allocation, this will disrupt our community

Vernille Love (Cape Town, 2020-04-02)

Not been consulted. Total disregard for my vote

I am signing to protect the current residents of Strandfontein from being exposed to foreign elements. The municipality and government must have strict measures in place to deal with what may happen and the fallout over this temporary solution.

Cheslin Beukes (Cape Town, 2020-04-02)

#498

I don't see how using the Strandfontein sports facilities will benefit the homeless, there is no proper fencing to keep these persons on the grounds,
We are still having issue with less than standard water supply, which can make these vulnerable persons very sick, which it did to many residents
We don't have enough Police to even deal with the amount proposed and with the community at large
This is a very bad idea as we have a squatter camp meters from the sports ground

Kim Ismail (Cape Town, 2020-04-02)

We do not need more crime and drugs in our area,please relocate them elsewhere

Ruwaida Oostendorp (Cape Town, 2020-04-02)

I object to having the sports ground converted into temporary shelter for the homeless. There is no drainage, no ablution facilities.

Fatima Manuel (Strandfontein, 2020-04-02)

For the same reasons of our head of saftey and security structure in the Strandfontein area.

I am unhappy that Strandfontein will yet again become a"dumping ground "...I suggest you also give the more affluent neighbourhoods an opportunity to experience first hand what's it's like to have their manicured facilities invaded....fair is fair Mayor Plato....or is it????

Craig Lategan (CAPE TOWN, 2020-04-02)

#507

This is ridiculous and unfair to the people of Strandfontein that was never consulted in the first place. Why not locate them in better areas like Constantia and Rondebosch

Jahaan Adams (Cape Town, 2020-04-02)

#508

We're already overcrowded in our area. Bringing 2000 more people into the area all at once is insane and I don't stand for it.

Courtneigh Davids (Cape town, 2020-04-02)

#510

We were not consulted about this.
What guarantee is there that these people WILL all be moved without problems or excuses in the future.
It is cold and windy on that field and the source of our water problem we experienced,there are no facilities,there are dangerous snakes on that field.
Strandfontein is not equipped to deal or supply the needs of extra 2000 people.
The stores and facilities we have are already not enough not to mention ONE clinic serving New and Old Strandfontein,Bayview,San Remo,Pelikan Heights and three informal.settlements.
There is no guarantee that any of these 2000 people won't jump the wall and end up walking around in our areas.

Megan Michaels-Jeppe (Cape Town, 2020-04-02)

#511

No consultation was held with residents. What about safety and health of our community. Do we not matter

Nazlie Stofberg (Bayview. Strandfontein, 2020-04-02)

#515

This is an inhumane situation as no proper service exists and we the community were not consulted.
The DA led municipality must stop bulldozing less effluent areas by just pushing matters through without consultations.

Denzil Stober (Strandfontein, 2020-04-02)

To stop the influx of people in our coloured and black communities

Gamidah Bailey (cape town, 2020-04-02)

#520

Why cant they fix our sports field for our kids?...I have no objection moving the homeless but why cant the City move them to Rondebosch Roscommon oppisite Red Cross Hospital. There is a big open field that can accommodate 2000 people but that wont happen because the "w" privileged wont be happy.

Riaan Dido (Cape Town, 2020-04-02)

We the residents cannot afford to have these people moving into our residential area

Fazlin Lakay (Bay View Cape Town, 2020-04-02)

Homeless people are sent to a cold, windy, damp facility without proper water and sanitation facilities which just a few weeks ago was taminated which left dozens of residents sick.

Temporary becomes permanent. inserting volumes of people into strandfontein ...how is the community supposed to recover from already strained community health and safety.
A social concentration camp ...moving problems around on a chess board..when these issues needed to be tackled by a clear disaster management plan years ago.

Eve Dumont (Capetown, 2020-04-02)

Its going to cause higher crime rate in our area

Saadiqah Vigland (Strandfontein, 2020-04-02)

#530

Why cant the people be housed in the areas they frequent. What about William Herbert as Wynberg has more street people than Strandfontein. Besides inviting crime, imagine the burglary rate in our area. And AFTER the covid-19 they will never be moved. Strandfontein already has no facilities. No swimming pool etc but ONLY the sportsfield and now that is also taken away. Dan Plato is really selling us out and turning his back on his own community

We don’t want anybody on our sports field. Where are we gonna host our soccer and cricket games when the season are back to normal.

Charl Du Plooy (Strandfontein, 2020-04-02)

#555

We the community was only informed after the decisions was made and no one asked us as rate payers our opinion. 2ndly that site is not appropriate for sheltering any humans it does not have the facilities and it was declared as a contaminated site after the incident regarding poluted water.

Ayisha Parker (Southern suburb, 2020-04-02)

#556

Strandfontein used to be a very quiet and peaceful neighborhood, and with the Informal settlement called 7de Laan, there has been a lot of incidents that affected the neighborhood and therefore im totally against it that they move more people into Strandfontein as im sure this will escalate even more and as it depreciate the value of our homes

Marion Lamson (Cape Town, 2020-04-02)

#557

We BOND payers and we seriously don't need crime in our area! Our community have dealt with previous crimes before but thankful for our cops that are always there to protect our community! On the other side it will also have a huge impact on the value of our properties as well as our children who trying their utmost best to become successful in life! 2000 ppl will cause a major impact in our children's lives because most of those 2000 ppl comes from vary backgrounds and everyone doesn't raise their children the same way as WE (Our Community) does. Moving those 2000 ppl into our area is just going to create crime rate here in Strandfontein.Pls consider US as Strandfontein community. Thanks L.Walters

We have lived here for years without any amenities and this will impact hugely on our safety as this has become a dumping ground for all kinds of crime, drug trafficking and housebreaking and robbery by incoming loiterers

Why here. Why not at newlands or Cape Town stadium
Before you know it they will not move
Then they will protest for housing

I’m signing because it is unfair towards the residents as they are sacrificing to pay bonds to live in Strandfontein. Many of these people choose to live in informal settlements and me should then bear the consequences of their choices.

Samantha Harris (Cape Town, 2020-04-02)

#573

I am apposed to homeless being moved to Strandfontein sports field as residents were not consulted neither do I deem the location suitable for housing.

Melanie Majavie (Cape Town, 2020-04-02)

Strandfontein is already congested with the additional or 7de laan. The amount of people raoming the street during the day and at night has incrwasw over the years. And i have been here all my life.

I use the sports ground as a cricketing venue as I am part of the Strandfontein Cricket Club.

The fields are already dilapidated and dry, filled with holes made by rodents and mole snakes, and there is no clean ablution facilities or running water.

I doubt we will have an improvement post lockdown, and the ground is not adequate for the safe housing of homeless... whether in tents or not.

Ray Swartz (Cape town, 2020-04-02)

There are so many other places that this people can be put. NEW LANDS RUGBY STADIUM IS VACANT. THEY CAN BE RELOCATED THERE. WE ALREADY HAVE A DRUG PROBLEM IN STRANDFONTEIN.

We will be faced with relocating these people after Corona. It then becomes the residents problem. Strandfontein a punching bag for the city especially after the unresolved water debacle.

I do not believe that Sttandfontein nor any other sub-district should be utilised as a venue for a "temporary detention camp".....Full Stop!
