Tendai Dimba: I do park runs so it's always safe because there are lots of people present. I have never trained in an open space.
The Rosebank Killarney Gazette asked residents if they think it is safe to run, jog or train in open spaces. This is what they had to say…
Suvarn Singh: I do run in the open spaces within the area. I live in an area that is boomed off so I do feel safe. I wouldn’t feel safe training in public spaces.Boipelo Lenkwane: As a woman in SA, I don’t feel safe jogging or training in open spaces. Even leaving home to go to the gym early in the morning does not feel safe.Kimera Moodley: I never feel comfortable training in the parks. It’s much safer to do it in places with security personnel. I often train in protected spaces that have less risk.Tebogo Mabitsela: I live in a safe and protected area so I train within the enclosed parks. I feel safe there although sometimes I do train on the road.Roxanne Solomon: I feel safer training in a place where there is a big group of people. I rarely train in the park because it doesn’t feel safe at all.
