Petition addressed to: SAPS Hammanskraal and Hammanskraal Metro Police

We want the Police and Metro to take notice of the noise caused by Taverns from late evenings till early mornings. This is causing people and businesses harm.

Reason

This is affecting tourism and businesses. Guests are booking out of lodges and demanding money back as they cannot enjoy their stay in the Dinokeng Game Reserve. The people of Kekana and surrounding are suffering from the noise as well.

Thank you so much for your support, Bianca Ras, Hammanskraal

Why people sign

It keeps me awake at night and it is very annoying

The noise keeps me awake at night

To reserve the peace and quiet one would expect when visiting animals in their natural habitat. Dinokeng has a responsibleity to its guests and greater Gauteng as a destination that can enrich it's inhabitants as well as those living around the reserves financially. The noise jeperdises this.

Because i live in dinokeng have a caravan park here and the noise is unbearable. We have 4 children who need to sleep with this noise, it desturbs the peace and quite dinokeng is offering

The current noise levels are significantly affecting the peace and tranquillity of the Dinokeng area. Guests have already started lodging complaints, and this is having a negative impact on their overall experience.This is a nature reserve, established not only to protect and preserve the wildlife but also to provide visitors with the opportunity to experience the peace, quiet, and natural beauty of the bush. Excessive noise is contrary to the very purpose of a nature reserve and diminishes the experience that guests expect when choosing this destination.
If the noise continues, it is likely to result in a decline in bookings, which will have serious financial consequences for businesses. A reduction in bookings will also affect the livelihoods of the people currently employed(a lot of them coming from the Kekana and Hammanskraal surroundings), as there will be less work available and, potentially, job losses.
We respectfully request that this matter be addressed as a matter of urgency to prevent further harm to the business, its guests, and its employees.
