Savoy residents experience vicious anti-Semitic remarks

Robi Schiffman

A group of illegal mechanics operating on the corner of Louis Botha and Grenville Avenues have been harassing residents for months, because the residents are trying to clean up the area and stop this illegal activity.

Jews here are verbally abused on a daily basis and threatened and are repeatedly called “f***ing Jews” and told to “f*** off back to Israel”.

These mechanics have become so aggressive and abusive that a number of women who live in the building outside which the men operate are afraid to walk to the corner supermarket.

Because of my efforts to stop the illegal activities of these mechanics I have for all intents and purposes become “a marked man” and in truth I fear for my own safety should I walk past these men.

Various business owners have joined the residents to try and curb this behaviour but the Bramley Police seem powerless to help.
