Johannesburg - A Tshwane resident is ready to call it a day for his cabbage patch, which feeds those in need, after he has been allegedly threatened with arrest by Tshwane metro police officers.

Officers in Tshwane say he is contravening bylaws. “I was instructed to apply at the city council for the permission to plant vegetables outside, or replace my veggies with grass, roses or nothing. I did not argue. Today at 9.30am, I complied, and there I was trying to file a cabbage planting application at the Tshwane council offices in Wonderpark,” he wrote on Facebook.“After so much laughter, Johan and Vincent sent me away empty handed without a permit.
“He just does not like it, period. Instead of taking me through the by-laws and pointing to the relevant sections relating to my contravention, he angered up. Things went bad to worse when I asked him to give me a written notice of my contravention, that is when his oil began to boil. I am told that if I do not remove my cabbage by Tuesday my arrest and jailing is 100% guaranteed.Tshwane resident Djo Bankuna with his cabbage patch.

“I also discovered that the vegetables last longer and remain fresh when planted as they are only harvested when required. “My neighbours eat here, my family eat here, the recyclers on bin Thursday eat here and my wife’s people in Soshanguve eat here. Free. On top of that, I get a free workout,” he wrote.
