We, the students of Nerina Residence petition the University of Pretoria to install stoves in the communal area of the flats.

The flats in our res, are equipped with a communal area for students. There is one communal area per block, and 8 people live in each block. Unfortunately, we all must bring our own hot plates in which to cook with. This poses a danger, as it is a fire hazard because some of the plates are of a lesser quality than others. This results into meals being burned and thus leads to the fire alarm constantly goes off.

We ask the University to please consider installing 1 stove per communal area (there are 23 communal areas), so that we can cook freely and safely without any harm occurring to ourselves or others.
