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. |

THIS DEVELOPMENT WILL BE A BLIGHT ON THE ONLY PROMENADE ARE IN CAPE TOWN CITY. IT WILL BE AN EYESORE AND WILL BENEFIT ONLY THE DEVELOPERS AND THE PRIVILEGED FEW WHO MAY BE ABLE TO AFFORD TO LIVE OR STAY DO BUSINESS THERE. |

WE OWN AN APARTMENT DIRECTLY ACROSS THE ROAD FROM THE DEVELOPMENT AND IT WILL DIMINISH THE VALUE OF OUR PROPERTY AND DIMINISH OUR ENJOYMENT THEREOF - IN ADDITION TO ALL THE OTHER PUBLIC DETRIMENTS THE DEVELOPMENT REPRESENTS |

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. |

There is already more than enough in the way of accommodation in the Sea Point area. The police and community are making a difference in clearing out the crime. The people love the promenade area as a place to relax with family and friends. Not ANOTHER place to spend all their hard earned money. There is no justification, except greed, to rezone this area. |

I think that this is a social responsibility for the Cape Town Community. Therefore we all should want to support this cause and put a stop to this money making development. We have enough in Cape Town and other areas that can be used. This is a selfish act. |

Less (concrete) is more & the more precious open space in an already over-developed city. Cape Town is supposed to be one of the most beautiful cities in the world and it's NOT MORE HOTELS & DEVELOPMENT (aka GREED) that will preserve this reputation. |
