SECUNDA – Residents living in Maluti Townhouses in Charl Cilliers Street near the Highveld Ridge Primary School in Secunda, are unhappy about the state of the park behind these townhouses, as well as their safety.
“It is dirty, drug dealers are selling drugs here and people are living here in the field and making fires every morning,” said a resident.
According to the residents, a young man was assaulted in this field on Monday, 10 August and the ambulance had to be called.
“We suspect the young man bought drugs from these drug dealers and something went wrong,” said a resident.
Residents want the police and municipality to intervene and do something about the drug dealers and the people making fires. The state of the playground equipment is another sore eye for residents and they want the municipality to maintain and upkeep the state of the park.
