Absolutely no sense or necessity to cause mayhem and destruction as part of any celebrations. The injuries and loss of life, thousands of displaced animals both domestic and wild does not belong in a modern day society. So called designated areas to discharge fireworks have increased the problem as they are majority set within or very close to populated areas. A complete ban of all fireworks is called for and we rely on the Witbank Municipality and local leaders to seriously address this problem as a matter of urgency.

The lives of our pets matter too. And the fireworks lead to not only death but animals being hurt and getting lost.

Demarcated areas around hotels and petrol stations is provided for displaying fireworks. Areas in and around a petrol station is highly explosive as it combines different zones from 0 to 3. Our fire department is not equipped for a disaster of that magnitude in a residential area at a petrol station next to a multi storey hotel.

I am also fed up with the people of our town not having a regard for anybody but themselves, we have the same problem every year but the people insist in letting them off, why are the shops not banned from selling them in the first place and there should be a central point where everybody can go and watch the display, but the Witbank people are a law unto their own and the police should get involved in this drive to stop fireworks another suggestion why can everybody not light up a chinese latern when they are together it looks very nice,I hope that your petition works

People should be educated on the consequence setting off fireworks has. A lot pf animals and even people get injured every year. People setting off fireworks deserve their injuries but innocent people like old people and babies getting frightened do not deserve it, animals cannot protect themselves and run away from home, getting hit by cars, try to jump palisades and get hurt or die. A lot of people still on leave meaning animals home alone having to fend for themselves. What pleasure can fireworks bring???? It only causes injuries and polution. Only selfish people set off fireworks.
