IS BRIXTON A SUITABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR STUDENTS?

BRIXTON-On Collins Street there are two taverns namely Shosholoza and 777 next to a primary school. These two shebeens mostly operate during the night but the question is: how does this affect the safety of the children? When they pass there on their way to school and see adults drinking and making a nuisance of themselves. I have witnessed a couple of incidents where students get assaulted by the drunken men. Normally when shosholoza host events it breaks in a fight and people get beaten up badly to such an extent that the police are forced to intervene. A man got in a fight and he was hit by a bottle and bled severely. The following day there was blood all over the street. On Monday morning when these young kids go to school they see the blood and this is disturbing for it causes psychological damage to these kids which will have an impact on how they see reality thus their school work will be affected. It is about time the Brixton municipality takes control of the situation. Yes the children might not go there now but their future is at risk.
