No consideration for others
On Sunday, November 15 residents could not bear the noise from the loud music, the on-going hooting from taxis and the tyre spinning.
Residents in Christiaan de Wet feel like they are living in an informal settlement at the moment as party goers do not have any consideration for others as they party on Sundays.
On Sunday, November 15 residents could not bear the noise from the loud music, the on-going hooting from taxis and the tyre spinning.
As many families start relaxing on a Sunday afternoon to end off the weekend, residents in Christiaan de Wet Street just could not relax as the music was so loud that it was heard inside their homes.
Two weeks ago the WITBANK NEWS reported on the same incident that occurred in Christiaan de Wet Street.
Mr Theo van Vuuren the Municipal Manager from the Emalahleni Local Municipality was asked to comment.
“We are busy investigating. Please note that there are specific rules applicable to the use of public roads and open spaces and that speeding and public drinking and disorderly behaviour as well as noise pollution are not only regulated by by-laws but also in terms of National laws. Public gatherings also require pre-approval by the SAPS and municipality,” said Van Vuuren.
Captain Eddie Hall, spokesperson from Witbank SAPS spent time looking at the video accessing the situation that occurred on Sunday.
“If there is disturbance of peace in your area contact the police or the law enforcement. The complainant needs to open a docket of disturbance of the peace. In this video I noticed the loud noise, allegedly there was drinking in public and according to the road traffic act, no spinning is allowed in an area like this. The Witbank SAPS control room can be contacted on 013 655 5052 for the public to report crime or contact the law enforcement control room on 013 690 6444,” said Captain Hall.
