My impression is that the developer and his
professional team maybe trying to mislead
people and take short cuts, which makes
one to question the integrity of the whole
development.
My opinion is that the Agulhas/Overberg
region is successfully marketed as a natural
unspoilt coastline area, which I think needs
to be preserved as such and that a four
storey eyesore on the pristine coastal belt
will be to the detriment of any endeavours.
For those visitors requiring more
sophisticated forms of entertainment, I
suggest they holiday elsewhere
Obviously developers require a good return
on their investment, but this should not be
at the expense of the residents and the very
happy holidaymakers that make Struisbaai
their home through the year
Every day one reads in the press of more
and more cases of corruption and
dishonesty being uncovered in Government
and top flight business, what example does
this set for our youth, do we want our
Country to become another Somalia
To my opinion this development can cause
a lot of problems for Struisbaai in the future.
