DEAR Editor,-
Margate, like many small towns, faces challenges, however there are enough deeply invested people in the town to make things work. In the late 1800s, London was slowly being buried in horse manure from Hansom cabs, and people lamented that the city would soon be totally buried in it. Then Henry Ford started building affordable cars and cars replaced horses.
There will always be naysayers and doomsday prophets and it is everyone’s choice and prerogative in life to either try to fix problems or to succumb to a life of misery and complaints. Margate is hardly ‘Hillbrow by the Sea’ – an analogy that misrepresents the beauty of our KZN coastline.
