SUPPORT THE LANDLORD IN OUR REQUEST TO STOP THE REMOVAL OF THE NEDBANK ATM IN SONPARK SHOPPING CENTRE, MBOMBELA.

NEDBANK confirmed their intention to remove their ATM located in Sonpark Shopping Centre, along the R40, on 31 March 2025. The Landlord has made numerous requests and provided various reasons why this ATM should not be removed, without any success from Nedbank.

This petition aims to implore the bank to reconsider its intention, based on the impact this will have on the greater Mbombela community.

Why we believe the NEDBANK ATM should remain in place:

• The NEDBANK ATM plays a vital role within the community & contributes towards the overall economic development within the area
• The locality of the NEDBANK ATM:
  • Ensures that consumers, especially mother's, are safe while making use of the ATM
  • Essential for the convenience of shoppers, business owners and employees within the Sonpark Shopping Centre
  • Easily accessible and conveniently close to Rob Ferreira Hospital, Nelspruit Primary, Hoërskool Bergvlam and Lowveld High School
  • Favorable location for travelers from other provinces who attend the annual Innibos National Arts Festival
  • Reinforces NEDBANK'S commitment to the community & future residential developments within the area

With NEDBANK announcing their formal intention to remove the ATM from Sonpark Shopping Centre, this created a huge concern for existing consumers and business owners within the shopping centre. Should the NEDBANK ATM be removed, there will be no NEDBANK ATM located within the main residential area and will consumers be forced to make use of the NEDBANK ATM'S located within the CBD areas. (Crossings Shopping Centre, Bester Brown Centre, Promenade, Ilanga Mall etc.)

We plead with the community to please support us and add your signature to this petition before 30 March 2025, which will be forwarded to NEDBANK, to request them to reconsider this drastic action before 31 March 2025.
