‘Clean our fields now’ REYANA STEYN
A
THLONE residents are threatening to protest in Lawrence Road if the fields in their area are not cleaned. They say they are “sick and tired” of the mess they have had to live with for a year. They also say that the area is infested with rats “the size of cats”, as well as mice, and they are too scared to leave their doors open. People’s Post went to Lawrence Road and found numerous open spaces covered in rubbish. The dirt ranged from broken couches, mats, clothes, wood and bottles to tyres and papers. The area also reeked. “How can people live like this? No one cleans here, and we are forced to live in this mess,” says Muriel Susa, a resident. “All the residents are furious about the mess, and have vowed to protest if action is not taken. The children need to pass this dump and they can easily get sick or hurt because of it.” Charmaine Less, another resident, says the road stinks from all the dirt. “We are human beings, not animals. We are tax payers, yet we have to live under these unbearable conditions.” Brian Wallace, who lives next to a field, says it is a health hazard.
“We cannot even leave our doors open because we need to be worried about mice entering our homes. You see huge rats running down the street – the rats are so big that you would think they are cats.” Priscilla Wallace says residents try to keep the area clean by sweeping in front of their homes. “We clean the road in front of our homes, but it is not our job. The council would come now and then, but the mess is always there. How can we live like this?” Susa says the City does not work for everybody, but only for a few people. Suzette Little, councillor for the area, says she has taken photos of the dumping and the area will be cleaned soon. “I am urging people to take photos of those who dump and to report it. We need to know who is dumping so that they can be fined, or we will be cleaning and the next day the area will be dumped on again. “Many people don’t want to report it because they are fearing that they would still have to live with their neighbours, but if they don’t report who it is, their names will never be known. If photographs are taken, it would be so much easier. “They need to take ownership of their community, come forward and report who is creating all this filth in the community.” She says all the matters that have been reported so far are being investigated.
