Minisub Gang targets Aqua Park

■ Joe Dreyer

It would appear as though the, as yet unnamed, gang of vandals terrorizing the communities of Arbor Park, Premier Park and Flora Park, have turned their attention to Aqua Park as three instances of minisubs being vandalised were reported just this week.

On Saturday the minisub on the corner of Awie Wessels and Thys Marais Streets in Aqua Park was vandalized at approximately 01:00 in the morning during loadshedding. Residents had to wait until 11:00 that morning for the technical team from the GTM to arrive onsite, according to the residents who were without power for the ten hours prior to the team’s eventual arrival. The technicians arrived without the necessary equipment or tools to rectify the situation.

On Monday morning another minisub was completely destroyed during loadshedding in Koos Nel Street and later that day another minisub was vandalized in broad daylight in Van der Steen Street.

The ward councillor for the affected area, the DA’s René Pohl informed the mayor and the municipal manager about the situation but had no response from either of them as they were in meetings. Pohl was told that criminal cases had to be opened at the police station for each of the instances. She was then told that the Municipal Manager was not the official responsible for laying the criminal charges and that Andrew Laubscher was handling the matter.

In the meantime there have been no arrests in any of the reported instances of vandalism in either Aqua Park or any of the other affected areas and this has led some residents to believe that the vandals are purposefully targeting the DA-run wards 14 and 15.

The newly elected Street Patrol Teams who were established in Flora Park and Talana by the Tzaneen Police in conjunction with the ward councillor, have not yet started their patrols as they await their training. The police have also not made any plans known to combat the vandalism or guard the minisubs in future.
