Who thought upt this particular load of garbage? For goodness sakes, who do they think they are fooling? It is criminal that public open spaces are thus annexed. I think JT got it right. Why should anyone please explain to Richard Gie why they want to use this area. Mr. Qually, what are you going to do about it?

Mr. Qually, what are you going to do about it?

So let me get this straight - if I want to picnic and let the kiddies put a canoe in the water I must knock on HIS door to get the key? What if he isn't home? Forget about the association - they're closed on weekends. But why must anyone explain themselves to Richard Gie or the association when it comes to public-use Council property? More importantly what about those off-water properties that enjoy rights of access to the water across these erven in terms of their title deeds?????? Did Council approve this? Were all affected properties formally notified before their property rights were unilaterally negated? What says the Ward Councillor who lives down the road? Or is he too biased to take a stand? Who is going to compensate those property owners for the loss in value when they sell their homes minus the attaching water access rights that must carry some value? For those in the dark, Marina da Gama is not an enclosed private estate. It's a suburb with public roads and spaces where some residents have entrenched rights of access to water across certain erven. At the very least they need to be consulted by Council. The MDGA and perhaps this time Helen Zille obo the City of CT must please explain... But isn’t that Richard Gie’s house?
