Why this petition matters

Started by Susanna Volland

As concerned citizens we are fighting to stop a development in Fourways. It is deemed impractical and an inappropriate development of 13 clusters on a sliver of land that is 25m wide which still needs a road and servitude for sewer, electricity and other services.

Not only are the green areas in Fourways disappearing fast but it is the only home to the most Southerly population of the Lesser Bushbabies (Galago moholi).

I need to create public awareness for our plight. I would like to name and shame the town planner who said in the tribunal meeting that “I know the bushbabies will die, but that is just how it works”. The same consultant who says saving client money and minimal land or service contributions, is his only obligation to his client in saving money

Alexander Frost Chairperson : Eco Culture Sechaba Foundation “It would be a huge shame on us to allow this green belt which supports so much indigenous wildlife, including this ONLY Johannesburg Bushbaby population, to be destroyed”. (#BushbabyCorridor)

The views expressed in this post are my own personal opinions and does not necessarily reflect the views of any group or organization. Thank you.

THE LOCATION: The Intersection of Stonebridge & Waterford Drive - Fourways / Craighavon

I need 150,000 signatures to help us reach our goal in protecting the bushbabies!

Please help us!
