FRANSMAN IS 100 PERCENT WRONG - YET AGAIN
Marius Fransman was reported yesterday as stating, at the Cape Town Press Club, that "98% of the landowners and property owners actually is the white community (sic), and in particular, also people in the Jewish community." He subsequently amended this to say that 95% to 98% of all properties the Western Cape Government and the City of Cape Town were renting in Cape Town were in the hands of private property owners (see Cape Times report).
In explaining how he arrived at this figure, he is quoted as saying that the figures were based on "the ownership profile of the people and companies that rented buildings to the Province and the City in Cape Town's CBD".
Not only are these statements 100% wrong, but Mr Fransman knows they are wrong, as he either signed and/or dealt with most of the leases himself.
