Klipkop Youth Being barred from playing recreational soccer on parks and non parks (vacant land in the area) 

We have played on the parks for years until about a year ago where we being chased away from these parks by local residents (2 residents) 

We then accepted it as a solution was presented to us to use the vacant land next to La Bonitos Complex and adjacent to Elsies Kraal Canal. 

We played there for months until we were again forced and threatened by this residents and reasons given was drinking, smoking weed and many cars parked playing loud music which is all untrue. This said resident has cctv cameras and I've asked many times to provide this footage to prove this but until now nothing. 

Since all this started happening I've made contact with the Dept of Human Settlements which the vacant land belongs to and they have no objection to  us using this vacant land next to La Bonitos. But now being threatened with Pagad and Violence towards children from the area. All the youth and young adults are just looking for a place to play soccer socially that's it.
