Slow but needed change for residents
About 100 locals took to the streets of Rosettenville on March 3 forcing the Rosettenville Junction to close its doors.
CHANGING security is a step in the right direction said a community leader following a major protest where the Rossettenville Junction Complex was forced to close its doors on February 3.
Community leader Simphiwe Hlafa said meetings between protest leaders and the complex management are underway to discuss concerns raised by spirited community members.
The safety of shoppers and community members, cracked and damaged parking ceiling and the indoctrination of community members into the complex business are some of the community’s basic demands.
He said security was changed at the centre.
An architect was called in to evaluate the ceiling and provide a report on a way forward.
Hlafa said they would meet again on March 28 for more detailed feedback.

It was a terrible weekend for the complex as their doors were only opened on the following Monday at 1pm.
Tyres were torched as a message of dissatisfaction, forcing the complex and neighboring businesses to shut their doors.
Police, local CPF and ward councilors rushed to the scene. No injuries or property damage were reported.
