City Parks cuts down Witpoortjie tree

As rumoured earlier on Friday 30 August, City Parks workers cut down a bothersome and rotten tree on Generaal Pienaar Street.

This follows a natural disaster earlier on Friday morning where a rotten tree fell on residents’ vehicles that were parked in the parking lot of the Witpoortjie Spar.

JMPD officers Combrinck and Du Toit, earlier on scene, said that City Parks is busy all over Roodepoort cutting down and removing fallen trees.

At around 1pm City Parks workers could be seen cutting down and removing the tree that damaged vehicles.

It is uncertain whether other trees on the border of the parking lot and Generaal Pienaar Street will also be removed, as residents and eyewitnesses believe their roots are rotten as well.
