CANNON ROCKS RATEPAYERS

ASSOCIATION (CRRA)

  1. Street Numbers. Except for 30 ervens, the erf numbers of all 728 ervens in Cannon Rocks are captured on Google Maps and thereby replacing the addresses that reflects the erf number as the street address.  A copy of the street addresses and the corresponding erf numbers was forwarded to Hi-Tec Security.  To eliminate confusion, residents as well as property owners are urged to:
    • Replace existing erf numbers with the street address available on the municipal account. Display of both the erf and the street address also creates confusion.
    • Use the street address for delivering purposes.
  2. Illegal Squatting. The legal firm SCJ@Co’s application in the High Court of Makhanda against the unlawful and illegal occupiers of the garden refuse transfer site at Boknes to evict, was scheduled for 1 November 2022.  On 1 November 2022 the case was postponed by the Judge of the Makhanda High Court.  The case were postponed twice until 31 January 2023.
