Subject: Urgent Complaint and Request for Intervention – Modipadi Pub aka Mankusheng in Odi Block V, Mabopane To: MojaLove Vimba Team Date: [17/03/25] Dear Vimba Team, We, the deeply concerned residents of Odi Block V, Mabopane, are writing to formally request your urgent intervention regarding a serious and ongoing issue caused by Modipadi Pub, also known as Mankusheng, located on Klipgat Road, directly behind the Odi District Hospital. This establishment has been operating in blatant violation of several South African laws and regulations governing the sale of alcohol and noise levels, specifically the Liquor Act No. 59 of 2003, which stipulates the following: Licensed establishments may only sell alcohol within the permitted trading hours as prescribed by their license conditions. Typically, alcohol sales should not occur between 02:00 AM and 10:00 AM, as per municipal by-laws and the Liquor Act.
Additionally, the sale of alcohol to minors (persons under 18 years old) is strictly prohibited under Section 60 of the Liquor Act, and it is an offense punishable by law. However, Modipadi Pub completely disregards these regulations: 1.Alcohol is sold 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including to underage teenagers, without any accountability. 2.The pub plays extremely loud music from early in the morning until the following day, Monday through Friday, with no regard for public disturbance laws. The noise level is so severe that it shakes the windows and roofing of nearby houses, making it impossible for residents to sleep, relax, or even watch television.
3.Despite multiple reports to SAPS and Metro Police, no effective action has been taken. Metro Police claim it is outside of their jurisdiction, and the Tshwane Municipality's intervention has been limited to a superficial inquiry without follow-up enforcement.
The pub owner has been approached by the community several times, but he remains rude, dismissive, and completely uncooperative, showing no intention of complying with the law or respecting the rights of nearby residents. As residents, we are suffering the negative effects on our mental health, well-being, and quality of life. We are unable to rest, study, or work from home due to this ongoing disturbance, and we fear the negative influence this ******* operation has on our youth. We urgently request MojaLove Vimba's assistance in exposing this serious violation and helping us channel the necessary enforcement that will either bring this establishment to full compliance with the law or have it shut down. We believe no community should be forced to endure such blatant lawlessness and disruption. Please help us take back our peace and safety. Sincerely, Concerned Residents of Odi Block V, Mabopane
