Residents upset about the state of Springbok Park
“There is absolutely no reason why the council has not looked after the park,” says Wollaston Labuschagne.
Residents of Edelweiss are outraged over the state of Springbok Park.
The park, which is filled with children every afternoon, is overgrown weeds everywhere, overturned benches and full dustbins.
Residents allege they have reported this to the metro officials and the reference numbers were closed without the necessary work done.

“It will be impossible to grow grass here because of the weeds.
“There is absolutely no reason why the council has not looked after the park,” says Wollaston Labuschagne.
Community members also say the park is not the only area that has been neglected.
Along Clydesdale Road, the trees are overhanging with weeds and grass growing along the road.

“If the grass and weeds keep growing like this, it will separate the paving and the road and that will cause more problems,” says Labuschagne.
The metro failed to respond in time for publication.
