NTHABISENG MIKA: “I enjoy fireworks. it pains me to know some cities have decided to cancel fireworks. But I don’t encourage Joburg people to stop celebrating with fireworks, but we need to make sure dogs and children do not get hurt in the process.”
IN light of Cape Town announcing no designated firework sites this year for Guy Fawkes, Diwali and New Year, the COURIER asked people on the streets if Johannesburg should follow suit?
This is what people had to say.
RAY DICKSON: “I like shooting fireworks. Now the news of some people saying fireworks shouldn’t be done it makes me angry. I say we as people of Joburg should continue celebrating Guy Fawkes, Diwali and New Year with fireworks.”BAFANA NCUBE: “Fireworks are very important when we celebrate special days like New Year. So if we don’t use fireworks the fun of celebrating such days will perish.”MARGATE SENNA: “Fireworks are harmful to dogs and more especially to children. I think we should avoid fireworks this year.”KAPPIE NUADE: “I think we should not mind what Cape Town guys are doing. Let’s celebrate the way we know how. Since from my childhood days we used to celebrate with fireworks. Why change now?”
