Naturena Petition School Children Safety & Litter

Updated: Oct 19, 2023

Bring order to chaos and promote responsibility & accountability among residents

The Naturena website can become a vehicle to address a lot of issues. It is free to local residents to register and post their concerned and comments. Some issues can be educational, some can be local business marketing and promotions.


The reaction of The School Children Seems to Emanate from What They Learn at School and or their Homes. Disrespecting Adult orders and advise from homeowners to keep our street clean; has landed itself on deaf ears. A learnt Behaviour that is inexcusable to educators’ responsible citizens.

There's Poor SGB Control of Leadership Guidance to Manage Safety & Neighbourhood litter around private properties. Rather There's situation has turned into Absolute Chaos. I possess archives dating back from 1999 when three Taxies Collided between Malta & Vesting broad daylight.

WARNING RESIDENTS & SCHOOL GOVENING BODY OF NATURENA P. SCHOOL

“I pray every day that my fears will not someday ever manifest into a tragic real event, of a horrible accident that could be avoided at all costs, before something bad happens”. i.e., me Mr Macina

If we act humanely and wisely to avert such an occurrence in the future, it should come from our own community's common sense. An initiative as motorists, residents, parents, teachers, law-officers, the school, transporters, the public; and the school management or SGB the ability to see right from wrong.


It won’t be long before "The Wrong" turns into a disaster” if we ignore our responsibility as citizens of this community, we become prone to chaos. Should something truly go wrong, it’s only a matter of time before everything else truly goes wrong. And we all shall wake up one day to blame someone instead of our own misgivings and shortcomings.

Addressing These Issue Through Community Education Campaigns is Vital to Naturena

It is imperative to address these issues with serious sense of urgency via various effective methods for which I suggest the following, to meet certain community objectives and ideals.


Naturena Council Meetings

Naturena Website Updates – https://braikee.wixsite.com/naturena

Flyers Distribution to promote events

Open Park Campaigns

Local SMME Business Support initiatives etc.


LITTER & FILTH OUR WORST NIGHTMARE

  • Filth & littering has turned our streets and Neighbourhood into a glorified slump. Where everyone including adults care less and respect for our pavements and driveways.

  • School children and residents who do not live in these streets have adopted this behaviour to think these streets are dumping ground of filth and litter.

  • Spaza shop operators and residents throw litter on our yards. No seems to respect our privacy and observe the cleanliness we try to keep on daily basis. This attitude has left us with few options, but to try legal alternatives.

  • Local Vendors and informal sweets traders have failed to support our endeavor to help educate these school kids to “please do not litter” so as to keep our streets and yards clean.

  • We now have a new enemy of filth and litter promoters who have exacerbated this problem – “The Spaza Shops” in both these streets, are also adding to this dilemma.

  • Naturena Home Owners Forum feels strongly that people living in Naturena, including parents of these children and the school plus visitors; should take into consideration the investments we have incurred to upkeep our properties and enhance their values.

  • Their cooperation to educate, take responsibilty and care of the entire Naturena including Vesting & Malts Street for the sake of observing our “Ubuntu and humanity principles, is part of our democratic social cohesion and rights.
