MARCOR PLACE: A ‘NIGHTMARE’ OF DRUGS, PROSTITUTION
Pining for ‘old’ Parow LISA LOTTERING @demi_lisa
F
aadiel Roopen, chairperson of Marcor Place in Parow, says it’s a nightmare to live there. According to Roopen, the area has changed dramatically over the past few years. Roopen, who has been living in the same building for roughly 13 years, says Parow used to be beautiful and safe, but now the area is infested with drugs, trafficking and burglary. According to Roopen, people come from
neighbouring areas like Elsies River to buy tik and dagga from the dealers here. What Roopen describes as a drug den situated close to his building is what’s luring people from neighbouring areas into Parow. “There’s a constant flow of people from other areas coming into our area,” he says. Roopen says a shop located close to their building trades at odd times and contributes to the noise and the influx of people into the area. “I don’t even know if they have a permit.” “Our area is no longer safe. People are scared to go to the shops and children fear
leaving the building during the day,” he says. He says his mother, who lives with him, sometimes cannot sleep at night due to all the noise and the foul language in the road keeping her up at night. Roopen says during the day he sees how people come and buy drugs in the area like it’s okay. “We see how the people trade drugs here. There’s no more dignity here. They do it in the open where everyone can see,” he says. “Despite the exorbitant amount of money we have to spend on taxes or levies, this is
the type of lives we have to live,” he says. “It’s very sad to see how we have to live.” Another resident, Vanessa Elias, who has been living in the building for three years, says the area has become unsafe over the years. “There are prostitutes roaming the area and people are always doing drugs in the area,” she says. She says sometimes someone will just come up to your window and throw a packet of tik in your car. “People smoke dagga in front of the building every single day,” she says. V To page 2.
