We will be submitting the following petition to KwaDukuza Municipality to demand bylaw enforcement and put an end to the chaos taking place at the informal settlement in the western area of Ballito near Umhlali Country Club.
We need YOUR SUPPORT to make our voices heard.
The complete petition is as follows:
We, the undersigned residents and ratepayers of KwaDukuza, demand that the relevant by-laws be enforced in the illegal informal settlement and surrounds that is located in the western area of Ballito opposite the Umhlali Country Club and near to several residential estates and other communities.
Our residents are suffering from noise disturbances from shebeens and gunfire at all times of the day and night. Our neighbourhood has become a crime hotspot with assault, robberies and break-ins, as a regular occurrence. The burning of rubbish pollutes our air, and litter dirties our streets. Businesses that are unregistered, unlicensed and non-compliant with regulations, openly trade along the roadside with impunity, whilst many of us suffer with unemployment.
We demand that law enforcement bring these untenable conditions to an immediate end, bring all perpetrators to justice, and maintain a continuous and visible policing presence to ensure the safety of our community.
Illegal activities in the informal settlement are in contravention of the following bylaws:
-Chapter 21, Noise Control, Section 2, Clause c: Discontinuation of Noise Disturbances
-Chapter 21, Noise Control, Sections 4 and 5: Prohibition of Disturbing Noise
-Chapter 22, Nuisance, Section 2: Disturbance of the Peace
-Chapter 22, Nuisance, Section 5, Clause 1: Illegal Discharge of Firearms
-Chapter 22, Nuisance, Section 26: Deposit of Human Excrement and Urine
-Chapter 26, Removal of Refuse, Sections 2 and 3: Disposal of Refuse
-Chapter 28, Street Trading, Section 3: Restrictions on Street Trading
Furthermore, incident reports from robberies, break-ins etc. have been made with both SAPS and private security firms. Copies of these reports can be made available upon request.
