The DA’s plan of constructing low-cost housing on golf courses seriously jeopardises property values in all municipalities and metros under DA control
6 October 2021
The DA's intention to construct low-cost housing in the Cape Town Metro on existing golf courses, among other sites, means that the party may very well do the same thing in other metros and municipalities that are under DA control.
According to media reports by Network24, Mr John Steenhuizen, leader of the DA, stated in an interview with the news channel Newzroom Africa that he has already instructed the Cape Town Metro Council to release golf courses for the development of housing seeing as there is "a proliferation of golf courses" in the Metro.
The FF Plus finds it alarming that the DA apparently did not consider the impact of this decision on the economy, job creation and property values in the area.
This step will have far-reaching consequences for hundreds of people of all races who depend on the golf courses for their livelihoods.
