Breaking local news in Boksburg
Charne Skylar of Fifth Street said while she loves her neighbourhood, which boasts leafy streets and where residents work together to keep their streets clean, it's always been difficult growing up in an environment that is besieged by dangerous drugs.She described drug abuse among residents as the root of all evils in the area, from destroying people's health and livelihoods to fueling criminal activities.
Gideon van Zyl echoed Skylar’s sentiments about the drug situation, but he praised local security companies for being hands-on when residents call them for help. “The trees in Boksburg North have become a safety hazard. I don't have insurance and if a tree falls and damages our property I will not be able to fix anything.
The pastor also touched on the issue of overcrowding, mentioning that many houses are occupied by over eight families many of whom are foreign nationals. Marisa Roets, who has lived in the area for decades, said drug abuse is one of the biggest issues in Boksburg North.
