#222

I too have very fond memories of Germiston Lake, the put putt, the evening walks to only but name a few....
These are no longer existant!
The Lake has become a place of drunks, drugs and who knows what else....not to mention the litter and waste all over the Lake following these outbursts.
This is not how we would like to leave a legacy for our children and their children and their children's children.
Please clean up the area and enforce the laws, both public and environmentally.
Thanks.

The lake is a neighbourhood park in a residential area where people get to enjoy peace and nature and not a music concert venue. Weekend after weekend we have to put up with excessively loud noise until all hours of the morning along with the drunkened riff-raff that end up driving and loittering in our streets. The lack of consideration by the Ekhuruleni Metro for the residents and rate payers in this area is nothing short of disgusting. We have 3 young kids that have been kept up 3 nights in a row because of this noise (certainly not music). There are many other options and venues laying empty in Joburg where they could host such events but the metro is more interested in making money from the lake than the residents that actually pay for it's upkeep. i don't believe the culture of these concerts reflect that of the surrounding neighbourhood so why should it be held here? We don't go to other peoples areas and casue trouble so what gives other the right to come to ours.

The noise levels are inconsiderate and unreasonable.

(Germiston, 2018-09-30)

#229

The noise at Germiston needs to be regulated this is a residential area. It’s very late at night on a Sunday and the noice can be heard almost 10kms from Germiston late. The noises is just too much. It’s a lot of noise and unbearable I can’t sleep and I have to work tomorrow. I can live a normal life’s.

(Castleview, 2018-09-30)

#239

I can't sleep due to noise and my Monday is already negatively affected by the disturbing noise

(Hazel Park, 2018-09-30)

#242

I vehemently object to the bombardment of loud music, noise, traffic disturbance & accidents which occur well into the early hours of the morning in the vicinity of Germiston Lake, as late as 3am in the morning. This is a residential area, for goodness sake.

(Germiston, 2018-10-01)

#245

The noise continues after 12pm every time
Bylaws are to protect all residents
Our basic rights are ignored completely

(Lambton Germiston, 2018-10-01)

Its a disgrace to have music being played at that time of the morning.

(Germiston, 2018-10-01)

#270

The noise is totally unacceptable

(Germiston, 2018-10-01)

#273

We live in Albermarle Germiston and the music specially sunday evening was very disturbing. Please keep Sunday's a respectful day for people work the next day.

(Germiston, 2018-10-01)

#276

The Ekurhuleni think that they can do whatever they want and WE as citizens must just obey, We as citizens pay our rates and taxes and we must be considered in all decisions and discussion, after all we are the ones paying.

(Germiston, 2018-10-01)

#277

The noise level these past weekends have been totally unacceptable bearing no consideration towards the residents in the surrounding area.

Please bear in mind that there are elderly residents as well as parents with small children (and others) who are deprived of sleep owing to unbearably loud music continuing into the early hours of the mornings.

This is totally unacceptable and rate payers should have some say and warning in this regard.

There is no objection to functions in the lake, provided reasonable hours are kept and the noise levels are controlled.

Thank you

(Germiston, 2018-10-01)

#278

Extremely load music are being played at organised functions that can be heard more than a kilometer away. It is also played like the past weekend until 2am in the morning. This is totally unacceptable

(Germiston, 2018-10-01)

#279

Sick of the loud music till 2.00am in the morning. Weekend after weekend. There are people who work. We need our sleep

(Dinwiddie, Germiston, 2018-10-01)

#280

As a rate payer in Germiston near the lake and also the sports grounds, I object to continuously being bombarded with "noise" from both venues. If not so called music then very loud Gospel preaching, We are never informed prior to an event but sometimes the local newspaper reports on it after the fact! Likewise we are never informed about road closures in the are due to cycling, running etc

(Denlee, Germiston, 2018-10-01)

#285

Disturbance of the peace should not be tolerated.

(Gauteng, 2018-10-01)

#291

The noice is desturbing, espesially late at night and on Sundays!!!!

(Germiston, 2018-10-01)

#294

Noise was irritating even as a visitor to area at roadhouse and carwash made it unpleasant and people drinking in public and urinating everywhere in public.

(Germiston, 2018-10-01)

#296

I am a concerned resident and wishes to reside on a quite, peaceful enviroment

(Germiston, 2018-10-01)

#299

Noise

(Germiston, 2018-10-01)

#300

The noise of the function that took place for 3 days in a row. No consideration for the people in lambton. Very disgusted with the matter. And on top of it drunk kids walking around at night.

(Germiston, 2018-10-01)

#308

Gatvol for the noise till morning hours and litter around our city also bring all elements into our area not accepted

(Parkhill Gardens Germiston, 2018-10-01)

#309

The noise level is excessive. I am at least a km away from the lake but could hear the music/noise clearly.
I think it is great that events are held in Germiston but 3 nights in a row until well after 02h00 in the morning is excessive in a suburban area. The poor people who live directly opposite the lake must have had an awful time with that level of noise for so many hours.
All events should not go past 11h00pm which is fair to the residents and the event organisers.

(Germiston, 2018-10-01)

#310

This was a terrible weekend that just passed as for 3 days we were kept awake till 2 am every morning with excessive loud music. It was very upsetting to my 3 small children as they constantly woke up crying as if someone had shouted in their room. I have never complained if it is an occasional event and the music faced the lake or the industrial area but this time it was three days of constant music blaring.

(Germiston, 2018-10-01)

#314

I live in the area and am directly affected by the noise levels

(Germiston, 2018-10-01)

#315

Disruption and noise levels were horrible well after hours and into Monday morning

(Germiston, 2018-10-01)

#316

I am tired of the constant high level of noise. music from the lake and gospel from the sports grounds. The rubbish left behind on the surrounding area is also totally unacceptable..

(Denlee, Germiston, 2018-10-01)

#322

Although I am residing in Hazeldene, the noise travels far and could not sleep because non stop music through the night.

(Germiston, 2018-10-01)

#324

(Germiston, 2018-10-01)

#332

Music and DJ lound and carried on until earlier hours of the morning

(Germiston, 2018-10-01)

#334

I do not understand why something would go on from Friday until Monday morning non stop until 10 to 2 when it is common knowledge that normal people work from 8 till 5.

(Germiston, 2018-10-01)

#335

Extreme noise pollution from Germiston Lake over weekend 29 - 30 Sep 2018. Absolutely no regard for residents in the area or the fact that it is Sunday!

(Germiston, 2018-10-01)

#336

The music going on until the early hours of the morning is unacceptable. On weekends people want to rest, if they want to sleep they're unable to because the music is so loud.

(Germiston, 2018-10-01)

#340

The sound from the lake exceeds exceptable levels. Its very disturbing especially when you need sleep for the next days work. It also invade our private space.

(GERMISTON, 2018-10-01)

#341

The noise levels are so high. My daughter has a new baby and we struggle with the noise, we have to close all doors and windows to try and shut the noise out and with it being do hot as well. The litter that us left behind is disgusting. When riding past the lake people are camped out on the side of the road, making food drinking and dancing, shouting at the top of their voices. These people are not even paying for the music event.

(Germiston, 2018-10-01)

#343

The noise and not considering the rest of the people in the area.

(Germiston, 2018-10-01)

#347

I'm a resident in the Germiston Lake area and feel the noise levels currently being allowed and / or ignored by the EMPD is a disgrace. On thr weekend of 28-30 September the music was dupposed to end of Sunday evening, but continued through to 2AM Monday 1 October!

(Germiston, 2018-10-01)

#352

The noise until 3am in the morning.

(Germiston, 2018-10-02)

#353

Excessive noise is unacceptable . This is a residential area. There are stadiums out of town for this kind of concert.

(ALBERTON, 2018-10-02)

#356

A three day concert ending on Monday morning is ridiculous

(Johannesburg, 2018-10-02)

#358

We need the noise at Germiston Lake to be regulated. This is utter nonsense for functions to carry on throughout the night. The Lake is surrounded by houses and flats and nobody can sleep through the noise and go to work the next day.

(Germiston, 2018-10-02)

#363

This needs to stop. The noise from my house is as if the party is in my back yard.
This is unacceptable

(Germiston, 2018-10-02)

#369

we were kept awake for 3 nights until after
2am with loud music and people screaming and shouting. Even sunday night when people had to go to work or school the next day the noise was unbearable. what happened to laws that public place closed down by a certain time. and the traffic and mess was disgusting.

(germiston, 2018-10-02)

#371

I could not sleep until such time when a concert finishes. My work requires from me to concentrate. Not getting enough sleep over the weekend caused me to not perform on Monday at the workplace. The windows of my apartment rattled the whole duration of the concert. I do not have a problem with concerts carrying on until, say, 22:00, but 02:00 in the morning is inconsiderate and unreasonable.

(Germiston, 2018-10-02)

#372

I have two small children and the noise scares them. My windows vibrate from the bass and keeps me up. I still have to go to work on a monday with almost no sleep.

(Germiston, 2018-10-02)

#373

(Germisto, 2018-10-03)

#380

I dont think that people should be allowed to make a noise all night. People have a right to some peace. I thought there was a 10 pm time limit for noisy parties.

(Germiston, 2018-10-03)
