The South African Property Owners Association (Sapoa) on Wednesday called for action "against the growing issue of illegal multimillion-rand property developments in Tshwane".
This comes as more information becomes available regarding the illegal development of hundreds of houses in the Leeuwfontein area just outside Pretoria on the road to Cullinan. Moneyweb has also been alerted to several similar illegal developments elsewhere in Tshwane and is currently investigating.
Moneyweb on Monday reported about the development on portion 120 of the farm Leeuwfontein where luxury houses have been built on land that has not been subdivided, no township establishment has been done or services installed, and no building plans have been approved.
The City of Tshwane would not provide any information about the matter, save to say that the city is "investigating the existence of the development in question to determine as to whether there are any applications submitted for infrastructural and residential developments".
