It is totally unnecessry to have anything built on the seaside of the road in Sea Point. As it is the view has alread been blocked in Bantry Bay and Clifton. We certainly don't need another hotel or more shops in the area. |

I support the comment made that the public space is for the use and enjoyment of people from various backgrounds irrespective of class, race age gender and wealthe or lack of it.We have more than enough commercial structures - already the new Waterfront additions obliterate views of the ocean.ENOUGH NOW!! |

This is a direct tool to rob South Africa of the community we are trying to build for our nation. We cannot allow this evil to continue. |

We are so short of recreational space in our urban environment. There are plenty shopping malls within a stone's throw of Sea Point why must the govt now take away the little remaining green space left. |

I am very upset to hear that the most beautiful promenade and most used and enjoyed strip of the Atlantic seaboard is planned to be spoiled by buildings and I hope and pray that this decision will be re considered for all the joggers and people who love the promenade and Cape Town!! |

Although I am a property agent desperately looking for new residential properties, I feel that detroying the promenade would lower the value of properties in this area. |

I was able to run on this promenade just before Two Oceans 2008, I believe to take this away from the runners/walkers and fitness persons would be a great tragedy. |

If this public open space is rezoned, it could happen to the entire promenade.
There would then be no difference between walking down Beach Road or Main Road. |

Ek het Seepunt al 'n paar keer besoek en dis die plek wat ek die graagste weer sal wil besoek in Kaapstad met baie aangename herinneringe.
Groot winkelsentrums is daar baie van en sou ek nou een wou besoek het ek 'n wye keuse. Seepunt se strand is uniek en moet bewaar omdat dit mens iets bied wat nie sommer op 'n ander plek gekry kan word nie. |

I support SEAFA's position of keeping the open space for the public and that another mall and hotel would impact negatively on the Seapoint Community. |

Access to the natural areas in our OWN country will be eroded one stand/plot/portion at a time. Somewhere we have to stand against rampant commercial exploitation of what is our natural heritage. Do we want to wake up to find that the most beautiful areas in our country can only be accessed by the wealth and the few? |

STOP! I'm getting tired of hearing and eventually having to say to my own grand-children: "We used to walk here and could gaze out over the ocean for miles around." The ocean will hold no splendour for frustrated waitresses and stressed out office employees! |

Cape Town prominade is the reason to have a holiday in Cape Town. Cape Town is for all the beaches are for everyone not only the people in hotels.
Cape Town is our heritage |

Are the authorities on crack ??
Can the developer not take a hint ?
We have enough retail space, hotel rooms & gym's in the area.
How does taking away free open space benefit the community.
How many have voted in favour of the development ?
This is not Zimbabwe. The will of the people is more than clear !! |

Public open spaces must not be commercialised. They must never be 'developed' for the benefit of a few merchants and their employees. The interests of any / all role-payers in construction work should never be considered as pertinent in planning public spaces. |

it is ridiculous that private investment is seen by many as a means of creating oppurtunities for the masses. we are just becoming a nation of conspicious consumers not concerned with really fixing many of the issues apparent in our society . it is also ridiculous that increasingly, public spaces are being redefined for the material benefit and enjoyment for a few |

A sad loss for Cape Town, it breaks my heart that any council member can be paid off, they enjoy a wealthy existance at the cost of the general public. Surely a great promenade elevates the whole area as a whole rather than a select few. Corruption at its worse!! Don't think the public does'nt know what goes on. |

In scores of major coastal cities all over the world, from Europe to Australia to the USA to South America, any seafront promenade becomes a major focal point for healthy leisure activities for the entire community; across all barriers of age, race and class. The Seapoint promenade is certainly no exception! Given Cape Town's history of division, hardly any other city needs such a "mixing space" more than we do. The politicians and developers who want to steal this space from the people for short term financial gain insult the memory of so many who struggled and died for our freedom. They should be made to hang their heads in shame. |

I support SEAFA 100% and commend people for doing something to prevent the one area where residents and visitors can spend time outdoors without apartment blocks and restaurants. We walk our dog on the promenade as we do not have a garden. This is true of many residents. |

The public in Sea Point, including the Pavilion are the property of the people of Cape Town and of South Africa, and I strenuously object to a private development of these area's which will only serve to deface the beautiful sea front area's which are enjoyed by many members of, not just Sea Point's community, but Cape Townians. |

This promenade might be the last undeveloped area of the Atlantic Seaboard. It is loved by locals & the abundance of space is what separates us from the rest of the world. It is ignorant and arrogant to build another development in this area. Not only because there is no need for it, but also because it shows governments & the developers ignorance with regards to the needs & wants of the residents that are affected by this change. |

I enjoy walking along the seapoint promenade regularly, and enjoy watching all the people exercising, and families just relaxing on the grass. We don't need another shopping mall. Let us be able to enjoy the ocean in peace. |
