Dodgy business practices need to be put to an end and venues that cater for live music help foster a sorely lacking sense of social cohesion.

Sowaar bar has been my favourite place to go to. To see my favourite bands perform their hearts out, to be surrounded by likeminded people, to spend some quality time with my friends that I love so dearly. I haven't been there since live shows stopped, because that was the main reason I went and got my friends to come along. This has ruined Sowaar not only as a place for entertainment but as a Business, and I just want them back.

Music needs to be heard and Sowaar bar is one of the best places to see live music!

This is the best bar in Pretoria. The home of amazing and affordable shows! It gives the alternative Afrikaans Music scene a platform that is invaluable to the growth of this cultural and artistic space. It is a place where people come together and experience community, good food and great music.

It would be a travesty to lose it!

This venue is critical to the betterment of arts and culture in our area. We sorely need more places to improve community. It’s also not right that the landlord was not upfront.

The need to rezone ! It's an awesome place that brings vibe to pta east

Because I'm a supporter of this bar and the live shows they host. Giving them a fine of over a million rand and not allowing them to rezone is absurd.

I support the rezoning of the venue from refreshment to entertainment. Also, for the fact that the owner didn't specify that the venue was the type of zone it is.

Sowaar Bar is situated well, they crossed their Ts and dotted their I's. This fine is not theirs to pay. They deserve to be relocated at minimal expense.

Pretoria East needs an alternative music venue. There is only so much Padstal one can take and Railways is just far out and dangerous.

Landlords and managing agents feel nothing for their tenants and insist on doing just as they please, with zero regard for the people behind the papers. It's time they srart to realize that there are actual lives and livelihoods at stake whenever they make arbitrary decisions just to show that they can.
