Some residents seem more concerned than others about their safety and the valuation of their properties.
Their worries follow the completion of the Reconstruction and Development Program (RDP) developments bordering Fleurhof.
This was also an issue addressed in the ANC’s recent visit to this tiny neighbourhood.
“We know that this is a small neighbourhood and that there are only about 450 households here, but why aren’t we speaking up about our problems?” complains resident Rose Morta who has been living in her house in Fleurhof for over 20 years.
“When my husband was still alive he as an active member of the civic board made commotion on our behalf about these developments.
“The general motion in Fleurhof is that we don’t agree with where these houses are being built and we are worried about the possibility of a harsh decline in our property valuations.
“The neighbourhood has prided itself in being relatively crime-free. How can we manage that standard and our safety with these developments?”
Morta strongly is considering moving away from her beloved neighbourhood.
“I cannot afford a possible security breach here. I have grandchildren and sons to worry about.”
The Record will follow up on developments.
