5th November 2009 Dear Philippi Land Owner, We are at the end of a very interesting and fruitful year in Philippi east. With some good prospects we wish to involve you in the future growth of your property in Philippi East, and will need a little of your time in this regard. After many years of battling through issues like crime, town planning issues, poor service from the City Departments, illegal dumping etc., we have reached a stage where the City and Private Sector can take hands in changing the face of Philippi forever.Our respective Companies (Ukuzwana Holdings, Oscar Saunderson Group, and Nirenco Properties) have been active in the area as land owners, Project Managers, Developers and Commercial Land Brokers for the last 8 years. As many of you will know, we started the re-development initiative years ago. Today we can proudly say that the effort paid off and we are proud of the results. We recently understood from the ruling party that they are in favour of being involved to help create a more employment active Industrial Zone in the area, and will use their influence to attract investors through the different business chambers to buy into the area to transform Philippi. The process will change vacant land into factories which will bring employment closer to Cape Town’s workforce. What is the latest progress? We took the liberty in meeting with Runan Rossouw and Eddie Scott, City Council, to facilitate the possibility of converting the area into a CITY IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT. In short it means that we will be creating a Section 21 Company which will take up the responsibility for the upkeep and management of the area by the City Departments. We will also have an opportunity to appoint a 24 hour security patrol; facilitate the cleaning of our open spaces and create strategic partnerships with SAPS and other organizations. It will unite the owners together to deal with challenges in the area, which will give us more say and quicker response on issues we would want to address. It will therefore act like a Body Corporate in a specific demarcated area. In other areas like Airport -, Montagu Gardens, Parow - and Blackheath Industrial, land prices increased after this program was introduced. Crime is lower than ever, everybody benefit from the program. Please make contact with us if you wish to be part of this process; email:
