Anarchy looming ANDRÉ BAKKES

All is not well in the suburb nestled between the N1, N7 and Bosmansdam road. Summer Greens is seemingly on the fast track to anarchy. The City of Cape Town cannot get on top of the myriad number of shops being operated from homes and in some instances a single property is being letted and sub-letted to more than 20 people. The seriousness of the situation

was brought to TygerBurger’s attention by the chairperson of the Summer Greens Resident’s Association (SGRA), Dolf Colyn. While driving along the main road, Summer Greens Drive, CocaCola billboards are never far in between. Ward councillor Joy McCarthy is well aware of this growing concern. “As many of the residents are unemployed, they start ‘businesses’, which are often convenient covers for drug dealing. Some sell secondhand clothes, fruit and vegetables

from the garage or set up hairdressing salons. Some even run panelbeating ‘chop shops’ in their garages!” McCarthy says. According to McCarthy, she and the SGRA have gone on walkabouts in the suburb and identified the many illegal businesses. “This information has been submitted via a land-use complaint notice (C3) to the Planning Department, who are slowly working their way through the list. It is time-consuming and does not get quick results, but it is the only legal route.”

However, Colyn says that this system is inadequate, since one business could close as a result, but then the next week a new business has opened in its place. Another worrying development is the sub-letting of the already small properties. There are two houses in Summer Greens Drive which are being subletted to about 10 families. According to the neighbour the multitudes that dwell there have access to only two toilets. . To page 2.
