Letter to the editor: Senior citizens not welcome in ‘posh’ Parkhurst

This letter is response to article Posh Parkhurst – the ‘it’ place in Joburg published in the week ending 6 June.

Yes ‘posh Parkhurst’ is a good place to be especially for those who live here and pay to do so.

But, it seems, the pavements are not for the seniors’ use, these are for the 25- to 40-year-olds who ‘grace’ the sidewalk cafès. For an ‘old duck’ like me, trying to get to the local chemist is a nightmare, as on my last visit I had to walk in the gutters and around cars to get past the ‘non-conformist munchers’.

A mother trying to push her baby in a pram had it even harder.

I also love the continental sidewalk cafe setting, but get it under control Jo, you are breaking the law… oops what law?
