I fear for our kids in Toekies

I fear for our kids' safety as some as young as eight and nine go and play there.

We have a big problem. There is dumping taking place oin Olifant Street, Toekomrus close to Hartzstraat Primary School. This issue was covered by the Herald some time ago, but it is still continuing. But that’s not all …

Children play inside the dumped concrete drainage pipes where the use of dagga and other drugs is prevalent. We have asked that the pipes be removed, but we have had no luck.

I fear for our kids’ safety as some as young as eight and nine go and play there. This is no joke and we have asked so many times that whoever dump their refuse there must please come and remove it.

At Caxton, we employ humans to generate daily fresh news, not AI intervention. Happy reading!
