Concert at city's cricket fields 'a nuisance'

Residents from the area around the Polokwane Cricket Fields are unhappy about the noise disturbance as well as the state in which the area around the venue for as far as Biccard Street has been left after the 'One Woman Show' that was hosted last Saturday.

The noise continued until the early hours of Sunday in an area where more than one retirement home where very frail persons are cared for, and the streets were obstructed by broken bottles and other waste, creating a dangerous situation for pedestrians and passing traffic.

DA ward councillor in the municipality, Mariëtte Pretorius said she was inundated with complaints from residents, even from blocks away. "Complaints were lodged with the responsible officials, but it became clear that they just turned a blind eye," Pretorius said.
