Naturena P. School Urgent Call for Action: Ensuring Safety and Order in Our Neighborhood

Dear Naturena Primary School, Principal, Parents, JMPD, Councillor, SGB, and School Transport Drivers,

I pen this letter with a heavy heart and a sense of urgency, imploring all stakeholders to heed the call for immediate action regarding the safety and well-being of our community, particularly around the vicinity of Corner Vesting and Malta Streets NATURENA near the UJ student residences. For far too long, our neighborhood has been plagued by a myriad of issues that compromise the safety, cleanliness, and tranquility of our surroundings.

For years now, concerned residents and parents have been raising alarm bells regarding the chaos and disorder that ensue during peak hours, especially in the mornings and after school hours. The situation has reached a tipping point, with our streets congested by school transport vehicles, children left vulnerable to potential accidents, and our once-pristine gardens littered with refuse and discarded sweets.

If You Were In My Shoes - Would'nt You Respond In Kind?

The list of grievances is extensive and alarming:

  • Transport Road Safety Rules and Children Collection Procedures**: The lack of adherence to road safety regulations and proper procedures for collecting children from school transport vehicles poses a significant risk to the safety of our children. The haphazard manner in which vehicles maneuver through the streets during peak hours only exacerbates this danger. 
  • Maintaining Neighbourhood Gardens**: Our once-beautiful gardens have become a dumping ground for litter and waste, diminishing the aesthetic appeal of our neighborhood and posing health hazards to residents. It is imperative that we take collective responsibility for maintaining the cleanliness of our surroundings. 
  • Property School Children Management and Control**: The unchecked influx of school children accessing transport vehicles has led to chaos and disorder in our streets. Proper management and control measures must be implemented to ensure that children are safely transported to and from school without causing disruptions to the community. 
  • City Bylaws Violations and Street Maintenance**: The disregard for city bylaws and the neglect of street maintenance have only served to exacerbate the deteriorating conditions of our neighborhood. JMPD officials must take proactive steps to address these violations and ensure that our streets are safe and well-maintained. 
  • Impact on Property Values**: The unchecked chaos and disorder in our neighborhood have not only compromised our safety and quality of life but have also had a detrimental impact on property values. As residents and homeowners, we cannot stand idly by as our investments suffer due to the negligence of those responsible for addressing these issues.

It is disheartening to note that despite numerous complaints and petitions addressed to local authorities and school management, little to no action has been taken to rectify the situation. The failure to address these concerns in a timely and effective manner has left residents feeling disillusioned and frustrated.

As a concerned parent and resident, I implore all stakeholders to take immediate and decisive action to address these pressing issues. The safety and well-being of our community, particularly our children, must be our top priority. We cannot afford to wait for a tragedy to occur before taking action.

I urge the Naturena Primary School, Principal, Parents, JMPD, Councillor, SGB, and School Transport Drivers to come together and work collaboratively towards finding sustainable solutions to the challenges facing our neighborhood. It is only through collective effort and unwavering commitment that we can ensure a safer, cleaner, and more orderly environment for all.

In closing, I leave you with a poignant reminder: if we fail to act now, we risk the consequences of inaction. Let us not wait for tragedy to strike before we take heed of the warning signs. The time for action is now.

Sincerely,

Naturena Homeowners Propoerty Forum

    As a proactive citizen deeply invested in the well-being of our community, I commend the author for bravely shining a light on the urgent issues plaguing our neighborhood. The lack of adherence to road safety regulations, the neglect of our once-beautiful gardens, and the chaos caused by school transport vehicles are not only concerning but also endanger the safety and quality of life of our residents, especially our children.

    It's high time we come together as a community to address these pressing issues head-on. I fully support the call for immediate action and urge all stakeholders, including the school management, local authorities, and residents, to prioritize the safety and cleanliness of our neighborhood.

    Let us not wait for tragedies to occur before we take action. By working collaboratively and proactively, we can create a safer, cleaner, and more orderly environment for everyone. Together, let's make our voices heard and demand the changes necessary to ensure the well-being of our community.

    Our community deserves better. I share the author's deep concern about the recent issues impacting our neighborhood's safety and well-being. The disregard for road safety, neglected gardens, and unsupervised children accessing transport vehicles are serious problems demanding immediate attention.

    The author's courage in highlighting these challenges is commendable. I urge every stakeholder, from Naturena Primary School to local authorities and residents, to collaborate in tackling these concerns head-on. Proactive solutions are crucial before a preventable tragedy unfolds.

    Let's not be bystanders. Heeding the author's call, I encourage everyone to actively participate in finding solutions. Together, we can create a safer, cleaner, and more orderly neighborhood for all. T.K. peace.

South Africans Are The Only People To Decide The Fate of Our Political Landscape…  We need a different plan for South Africa all together, to create an equal opportunity and fair distribution of wealth and job opportunities for all our legitimate citizens. Those who are in positions of power and authority should do something right for the first time for the country and alter the cause of history in the hands of the failing ANC. We can conform to complacency and become redundant as a people; or we can begin to challenge convention – through an intelligent conversation or; we can move against the grain to save the country from calamity, corruption and junk status – even let it R.I.P.

South African 1994 Voters Are To Blame for ANC Failed Leadership.

South African 1994 Voters Are To Blame for ANC Failed Leadership. Here’s why in an alternate reality, South Africa emerged from the shackles of apartheid in 1994 with a remarkable transformation. Instead of the tumultuous path it actually took, South Africa embarked on a journey of unparalleled prosperity and progress. The African National Congress (ANC), imbued with Marxist ideals and trained in the art of political guerrilla warfare, found themselves at the helm of a nation teeming with potential. Despite their lack of practical experience in governance and economic management, the ANC possessed an unwavering belief in their ability to steer South Africa towards a utopian future. They envisioned a land of abundance, where the fruits of labour were shared equitably, and every citizen enjoyed a life of dignity and fulfilment. Undeterred by their critics, who dismissed their vision as idealistic and unrealistic, the ANC set about implementing their grand plan. They nationalised key indu...

In the complex world of politics and economics, paradoxes often emerge when ideals clash with the practicalities of governance.
