Cape Town Community TV
Cape Town TV (DStv channel 263) is broadcasting a debate on fracking tonight at 21h00. CT TV was originally also to record a debate on the Philippi Horticultural Area, PHA, between Nazeen Sonday and either Cllr Johan van der Merwe (Mayco member, Environment & Planning) or Provincial Government Agriculture MEC Aan Winde. Unfortunately, neither Cllr van der Merwe nor MEC Winde was prepared to take part.
Philippi Horticultural Area, PHA, and Cape Flats Aquifer, CFA
The GCTCA strongly endorses and supports Nazeen and all of the community organizations in their stand against land sales and development in the PHA. We urge everyone else to throw their weight in behind Nazeer and his colleagues, for example by attending this meeting.
Dear Supporters and Endorsers of the Campaign
The PHA Food & Farming campaign will be having a campaign meeting on
Tuesday 16 February
Time: 1830
Venue: Country Manor, Boom Street, Philippi Horticulture Area
We need to start off 2016 with an update to all of you, and get some housekeeping done for a smooth year. Your participation is essential: you are the campaign!!
We'd like to thank those of you who've supported us in various ways over the last year: either with time, writing and research or networking. This year we have to step up a gear with proper structures to support both a legislative and operational fund; a successful march to deliver the petition which most of you have seen; and some strategic planning, including division of work amongst committees to be set up.
The campaign - when active in 2013 - was extremely successful due to the fact that many people gave a little input in their area of interest.
While we thought in January 2014 that we'd accomplished a major victory in getting the MEC to turn down the 280ha MSP development, it seems the city is going ahead with it anyway. The city has also given the green light for the 472ha Oakland City development. Together these developments will mean the slow death of the Philippi Horticulture Area and the Cape Flats Aquifer.
Please help us extend this invitation to all interested and affected individuals and organisations.
We need your support!
Agenda:
Update on Campaign
Legal Standing and Strategy re developments
Various committees and campaign constitution
Elect Working Committee
Input on issues related to the PHA campaign from supporters and neighbours
Please sign and share the petition and help us protect the PHA and CFA.
