HELP STOP THE ERECTION OF AN UNWANTED CELLPHONE TOWER IN OLIVEDALE, OPPOSITE OLIVEWOOD ESTATE
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.
WHAT CAN YOU DO?
IN REAL LIFE- We will be staging a protest on the corner on 18 March, 2016 to raise awareness.

The lack of transparency regarding this installation remains our primary concern. We are currently coordinating with local representatives to ensure that our collective opposition is formally documented and addressed.

The rapid growth of this collective movement demonstrates that the Olivedale community refuses to accept these developments without proper consultation. Your active engagement ensures that our local concerns are receiving the attention they deserve from district representatives.

No consent given No documentation received No duscussions/ public participation All done in secret in exchange for remuneration Total disregard for neughbours
There are already 3 towers in the area, more do not need to be constructed. providers should be sharing access with the other providers
Cell towers are extremely dangerous to health. Many people will be forced to flee and abandon their homes. Property values will drop. This is madness.
Cannot erect a tower without consent.
Not in favour!
Stop the illegal erection of the cellphone tower which poses a health risk to humans and animals.
The erection is unwanted!
