| simon sephton | Signed on: Thu 06 Mar 2008 15:23:52 UTC Even though I live at the opposite end of the peninsula, i visit Sea POint specifically to walk the Promenade from time to time. I would never go there to shop. I feel that the proposed development will remove one of the open gems of Cape Town that helps to distinguish it from any other urban coastal development. It would also remove publicly accessible sea-front space that is currently safe and one of the few places that Cape Flats dwellers can easily access the sea without visiting a beach, making it a truly 'democratic space'. It would be a travesty to destroy this for commercial reasons. |

| Verashni Pillay | Signed on: Thu 06 Mar 2008 10:35:57 UTC The development will only segregate our already divided city further. We need to leave places like the pools in tact where people from all sections of society can gather. Furthermore we need breathing room in the city! There are already too many developments. |

| Jef Robinson | Signed on: Thu 28 Feb 2008 14:54:12 UTC Here in the UK we have Listed Buildings - buildings considered worth preserving and protected from threats of redevelopment. Sea Point Pavilion would qualify a hundredfold for protected status for all the reasons stated elsewhere in this petition. Demolishing the good to erect the unwanted has never proved to be worthwhile. Stop this corporate vandalism now! |

| Mary Simons | Signed on: Tue 26 Feb 2008 17:14:40 UTC Sea Point Pavillion is an international continental national and local treasure. It is a place of unsurpassed beauty where human building and nature are in harmony and the sea and rocks are never absent from one's sight. It is a space where the matters of the day are shed and one's person is invigorated and supported. I have been coming to this pool for the last 56 years. I was ever mindful of the privilege that whites had in having this reserved space. Today I watch and join the pool with 500 schoolkids (Thursday 22) 20 something would be oil riggers, trawlermen and inspectors who cannot go to sea without certification. Each morning I swim with elderly people in the diving pool or swim with all the elderly and the young before they go off to work. As the mornings get cooler I will switch my swimming tim to the afternoon where the young and working people will swim in the pool. The new South Africa and the old South Africa plays and swims at the Sea Point Pool. Couples and families reflect the world we struggled to make, where people could love each other, marry each other and have children irrespective of colour and gender restrictions. They join the traditional coloured, african and white families on the benches on the lawns and in the pool. They swim together sometimes chattering and laughing and other times in silence. It is shameful that the authorities even contemplate encroaching on this space. Sea Point Pavillion allows each of us to make happy memories. |
