We would like to lodge our objections to the leasing of land to the Rondebosch Golf Course by reminding the city council of the history of dispossession in the city, the failure of land restitution in the democratic era to significantly rectify the spatial injustices of apartheid and the importance of making state land available for those that have been excluded from prime city locations. The golf course fell within an area that was declared for white people in 1966.
and the story of the little known Black River community in what is now Rondebosch has been told by Uma Dhupelia-Mesthrie inThe Black River community of 300 families lived south of the golf course from the old Duinefontein and Klipfontein roads towards Park Road in Rondebosch. Its eastern boundary was Strathallan Road and its western boundary was not far from the Rondebosch Common starting at Borden Road.
In particular we would like to highlight the role of Rondebosch Golf Club in supporting apartheid in the 1950s. In 1955, when a part of the Black River area that adjoined the golf course was advertised as a possible Chinese group area, the Rondebosch Golf Club made representations that are worth noting.
CityofCT alanwinde ... increasing rentals on the golf courses owned by the city does not address the problem.
In cases like this tbe kand should be returned to the people who were removed.if the current 'owners' bought the land from the apartheid government in good faith then the government must reimburse them.
They opted for the money. Not the land. What is wrong with you?! Spreading fake news to further EWC and ANC NDR propaganda. The ANC will now steal white land as pay back for the so called original sin. You can then go live in your rainbow refugee tent and pay rent to a black
What a load of bullshit!!!!!
What will get us going is when CyrilRamaphosa people admit all their current wealth is stolen, that will be like the alcoholic admitting the problem exists. Until then MoodysInvSvc we are junk, regardless of your bribe to keep the grade up. Investors see
Oh dear get over it...or have you bribed some minister into a subscription for a whole Government building
