Storm-clouds over Arniston

Storm-clouds over Arniston

This is the curious tale of a quaint coastal town with two names; of an ANC mayor who prefers helping rich white capitalists to supporting her own struggling community; of an hotel boss and his town manager pal who run the town like a private fiefdom: and of a piece of land that increased in value from R400,000 to R4m in one week.

Ha at last Justice has been served Mr Haarburger lost his case!!! Will he be made to breakdown all his handywork?

Re comment by Craig, the rumours are doing the rounds that Keith Jordaan (no longer with the municipality) is now looking at the municipal "green belt" area closest to Roman Beach. These borders on the nature reserve. I wonder who his partner/s would be. Incidentally, whilst still at the municipality, as municipal manager, Keith Jordaan was believed to have said that he was "going to make money using Arniston land"

You've only skimmed the surface of HAARBURGER and his shenanigans in Arniston! Check up on how he screwed Council regulations on Arniston Seaside Cottages, got away with it, and again breached the rules in extending the Arniston Hotel. There's mileage in this one! ***** (name withheld) but you can trace me through your records and I would be happy to explain my wish for anonymity

Are these two little SACS boys (Haarburger & Danford) behaving like greedy little oiks? Cut it out - you were not educated to behave like that.

All has not been well in Arniston for many years.
Once Haarburger has sorted out this little problem, he will be looking towards the outskirts of this town which is surrounded by "nature reserves".
Noseweek needs to dig a little deeper, maybe speak to a few more people, they have missed some stories here.
