When we\'ve finished this effort to save the seafront from private developers, let\'s not stop. This is a microcosm of a bigger city, national, and global trend, that being privatisation at public expense. Don\'t let our \"leaders\" sell us out. |

My parents walked with me on the promenade when I was a little girl and I walk there with my children. Why shouldn\'t they walk there with their children as well? Keep the promenade as public open space! |

if anything is ever built on this land it should be built for the use of or for the profit of all the people of cape town. declare the area a national park and then develope revenue from that. |

The promenade should definately remain a public place for all to enjoy! I would recommend all to take a stroll along the promenade on a sunny Saturday & Sunday to see the enjoyment of people enjoying it! |

I own property in the Atlantic Seaboard and has spend my childhood, jogging and swimming there. I am now living in the UK, but on every visit to Cape Town, I at least set one day aside to go to the Pavillion!. This would be a real shame if has to go! |

This is just another scheme to get more money out of the public so that a simple stroll one will have to now pay for. |

The Sea Point Promenade has been a place of pleasure and relaxation since the day I was born, and most probably since the day my grandfather was born, changing it into another money making centre will not only make another clone shopping facility but take away from so manys (all cultures in the new South Africa I might add) weekends, holidays and lifestyles. Please think about the people of Cape Town, not just a few people making money. |

Sea POint Pavillion is one of Cape Town\'s pride and joys, a beautiful view and a safe place to walk and run. It is also a tourist attraction as a scenic walk just outside the hussle and bussle of the city. It would be a huge lost for Cape Town if this area was developed because 1) we have enough malls and 2) Surprise surprise, tourists don\'t come here for malls - they can go to the US for that. Let\'s stay true to our South African roots and protect the beautiful routes and walk ways we have for all. |

The best way to miss the traffic is to take a walk on the promenade, and it revitalizes better than Red Bull. |

We all know what happened to the Durban beach front when the Marine Parade was spoilt due to the space between Marine Parade and the ocean. Sea Point can go the same way as Durban beachfront if this is not stopped. |

Whereas I can understand the rapacious greed of the developers, I fail to understand the wisdom of the proposed development.
Many countries have proven how shortsighted it has been to overdevelop beachfront areas into ugly flats and highrise developments.
The only way to maintain ongoing interest in the beachfront areas is to keep it to what makes it so appealing to all visitors and that is the accessibility to all people and not just a select few. Wake up! We have more than enough shopping malls, kindly leave an open area for all the people to enjoy, including all the foreign visitors who come here for precisely this kind of open air beachfront and not some Tuscan or glass and steel nightmared experience which they can get in any overdeveloped city in the world. |
