Save Newmarket Stables, Durban

For a city who hosted the Global Environment Summit ... put your money where your mouth is eThekwini - don't change every little bit of green in our city to concrete. Don’t take away what is working when there is so many other options you can explore on already vacant pieces of land. Gandhi said: Earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s need, but not every man’s greed!” Remember that the rate payers of this city pay your salaries and the rate payers are getting tired of the way this municipality is being run ... every person affected by the closure of Newmarket, for yet another money wasting venture, their families and friends will certainly remember this when it comes to voting. It is really sad when the city stops listening to their people and bragging about how smart they are with “planning” … oh how the mighty fall! The eThekwini vision is “By 2030 the eThekwini Municipality will enjoy the reputation of being Africa's most liveable city, where ALL citizens live in harmony. This vision will be achieved by growing it's economy and MEETING PEOPLE'S NEEDS so that ALL citizens enjoy a high quality of life with EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES, in a city that they are truly proud of.” So once again I say eThekwini, put your money where your mouth is because the people are losing faith in what you say you stand for and what you are actually doing … SAVE NEWMARKET STABLES!
