However, the developer has undertaken to introduce various elements to celebrate culture and heritage where currently there are none,\u201d the City said.<\/p>\n<p>But high commissioner of the Goringhaicona Khoena Council Tauriq Jenkins said the decision and subsequent celebratory tone of the City\u2019s announcement that the Khoi heritage will be honoured, was \u201ca slap in the face and a lie\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe City has disavowed itself as it ignored the resistance by indigenous and traditional communities, civil society and environmental groups. This Amazon development on sacred terrain has been done without consent of most of the Khoi and San as well as residents in the surrounding areas. What are you saying when 23 000 people object?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have witnessed divide-and-conquer mechanisms being deployed where Khoi chiefs and civic leaders against the development have been subjected to threats and smear campaigns and where Observatory residents have been accused of being obstructive\u2026 for having legitimate environmental concerns. This is a point where battles of liberation and resistance were fought against colonial invasion,\u201d said Jenkins.<\/p>\n<p>He said there will be resistance legally as residents had a right to be enraged.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe decision by the mayor and his mayco was a missed opportunity of acute national importance where they ought to have shown a modicum of moral courage. This is not a commemoration of our heritage. This is a stabbing at the wound itself,\u201d said Jenkins.<\/p>\n<p>The Observatory Civic Association (OCA) is meanwhile still collating funds via crowdfunding platform BackaBuddy to take legal action against the development.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have appealed unfair decisions that are ungrounded in evidence by both the City (rezoning) and the Provincial Authorities (an Environmental Authorisation). However, it appears our appeals to reason and to the facts have fallen on deaf ears and we are forced to turn to the courts for justice since the authorities are intent on approving this development even though the EA was described as \u2018unlawful\u2019 by the competent heritage authority,\u201d the OCA said.<\/p>\n<p>Spokesperson for the LLPT Jody Aufrichtig welcomed the City\u2019s decision, saying: \u201cWe are proud that the River Club redevelopment can contribute to improving Capetonians\u2019 quality of life and ability to sustainably live, work and play in our beautiful city together.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe legislated planning approvals that follow rezoning approval must still be obtained and these processes are underway. We have engaged extensively and openly with various organisations including those for and against the redevelopment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are proud to be incorporating developer-subsidised inclusive housing in proximity to economic opportunities as part of our private development. It\u2019s perplexing that any organisation claiming to work for better inclusive housing opportunities wouldn\u2019t support these plans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For housing activist group Ndifuna Ukwazi, Robyn Parkross said private developments must comply with the principle of spatial justice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a legislative requirement flowing from our planning law that aims to redress past spatial imbalances. But advancing spatial justice is also a moral requirement in the context of a society living in a post-colonial and post-apartheid city.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLiesbeek Leisure Properties Trust&#8217;s allocation of 20% of the residential floor space for affordable housing has been used as part of a justification that they are advancing spatial justice in their development of the River Club. In reality this equates to just 4% of the total development,\u201d said Parkross.<\/p>\n<p><b>Cape Times<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Africa.
