Durban - A COMPANY connected to controversial businessman Jay Singh has been sold a municipal sports field that is going to be turned into a housing development. Despite a concerted effort by Phoenix ratepayers to halt the development on the Redfern sports field, a construction team has moved on to the field, placed pegs and dug trenches to begin construction.
Municipal spokesperson Mandla Nsele said the site was underused and had become “a place for unsavoury activity such as drugs and theft”. “After careful deliberation by all concerned units, it was decided that the site is suitable for a housing development. The site is zoned Special Residential 180,” Nsele said.
Woodglaze Trading manager Pravesh Inderjeeth confirmed that the grounds would be used for the construction of houses.
