DEAR Editor,-
The article about Hibiscus Coast Municipality getting awarded is another slap in the face for any law-abiding citizen on the South Coast.
One of the reasons for winning the award was ‘excelling in terms of compliance matters’.Being compliant means that HCM should abide by all valid laws of South Africa.
With this understanding, this prize was clearly given to the wrong people.
Since more than 50 months (this is not a typing error – more than four years!) the ‘prize-winner’ has been undisturbed and successfully doing the opposite. They are knowingly and intentionally supporting two illegal developments in Oslo Beach and ignoring various laws (Building Act, Sport and Recreation Act, by-laws and even the constitutional rights of citizens.)
With unbelievable arrogance, they are playing God in deciding which legally obtained developments will have to be stopped, or the loss of property values and of investments, and which families are going to be financially ruined through the impact of incorrect HCM actions.
They believe that their position elevates them above the law and makes them untouchable.
All citizens with these negative experiences should get organised and stand together so that we can end this unacceptable ignorance of HCM. We need to protect our rights and our investments and/or assets and their future value.
