Safety is a growing concern for many residents. While some areas remain peaceful, others face rising crime, poor lighting, and security issues. Do you feel secure walking outside after dark, or do you avoid certain places?
No, I don’t feel safe walking after dark, and I do avoid certain areas. Safety needs to be improved, and better street lighting could make a real difference. Increased police visibility might also help create a greater sense of security.
Cassandra Coetzee, Rustenburg No, because some areas suffer from poor lighting, limited security presence, and increasing crime rates, making nighttime walks feel unsafe. While some neighbourhoods remain peaceful, others have become high-risk, requiring extra caution. As a result, many residents avoid certain places after dark to protect themselves.
