TO BE ERECTED FRIDAY, 18 MARCH 2016

It has come to the attention of the community that a cellphone tower is being erected in a residential property on the corner of Seil Place (no 1) and Christo Avenue. opposite Olivewood estate.

This erection is Unwanted!

WHAT WE KNOW

• A single property owner was approached and agreed to the erection.
• The owner will allegedly be receiving financial compensation of up to R10 000 per month for hosting this structure. Click here for article: Host A cell tower and make some cash
• The owner has been uncooperative, refusing to answer any questions about the matter.
• No public participation occurred
• No notice period was given to any residents about this erection. Equipment just arrived one day out of the blue
• No forewarning about any health implications
• The tower is being erected by Hauwei for Telkom
• We have approached various media outlets as well as the district DA to gain support
• The residents of Hoek Place and Amsterdam Road were ambushed by this tactic for an MTN tower. They have no recourse now and it is up permenantly.

CONSEQUENCES

• Cell phone towers potentially pose radiation health dangers that impact Humans and Animals
• A very good chance property values in the area will be affected due to 'visual pollution' and perceived health risks. Click here for article: Cellphone masts and property values
• One tower services only one network provider. This will set a precedent for other providers to pollute the area with their own towers.
