Safety is a huge concern for Wychwood resident Nokuthula Ndlovu.<\/p>\n
Ndlovu recently contacted the GCN stating that the gate at their complex, Geldenhuis Garden Flats, is broken.<\/p>
\u201cOur gate broke two months ago and when we reported the problem to the metro, they sent out municipal workers to come and look at the gate,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe appreciate that they sent workers to come out, but the only thing the workers did was inspect the gate and take it off.\u201d<\/p>
Ndlovu also said the municipal workers frequently visit the property.<\/p>\n
\u201cEven after removing the old gate, the workers have made more than one trip to inspect, but we still remain without a gate.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a problem because we are right next to an open space and without a gate, our safety is actually at risk.<\/p>\n
\u201cThieves have access to our premises as it is just wide open where the gate was; a new gate has to be installed very soon, this is urgent.\u201d<\/p>\n
The metro responded to the GCN\u2019s query regarding the installation of a new gate.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe metro\u2019s human settlement department is aware of the matter and quotations have been invited to determine the cost for the repairs or replacement of the gate,\u201d said the metro\u2019s spokesman, Themba Gadebe.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs soon as all processes have been completed, the gate will be attended to.\u201d<\/p>\n
