The WCBCF attended the Stakeholders meeting on the 18th of February 2019 at the Overstrand Municipal Auditorium.

Premier Helen Zille gave a presentation about the proposed plans for the Schulhoek area which would be similar to the integrated housing development project on the old Conradie Hospital grounds in Cape Town. The development would include an upmarket housing section which will subsidize the rest of the development, a subsidized rental area, RDP housing area, a retail area with parks and a reserve for the milkwoods. The idea is still conceptual and all the affected communities need to 'buy in' to the idea.

Thereafter the Premier explained the importance of keeping the local economy going as this provides tax money which in turn empowers the government to provide services.The Forum Agreed with the Premier and asked community leaders in Zwehile and the Municipality to work together to resolve service delivery issues.

The Forum also requested that all protest action stop so that the local economy can recover.

The leader of ZR committed to halt all protest action but maintained that it is their constitutional right to strike if their voices are not heard.

The WCBCF is "cautiously optimistic" about the meeting and the proposed plans for Schulphoek. We encourage all parties to work together to build one Hermanus for all.

Kind Regards

Forum Exco
