https://novanews.co.za/districtmailhelderberg/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/cid.jpg938543Gordon's Bay is considering a City Improvement District (CID) to enhance local services through additional property rates, championed by a steering committee whose chairperson also heads the Gordon's Bay Residents Association (GBRA). The initiative faces scrutiny due to the GBRA's failure to hold AGMs for five years and its deregistration with the City, raising concerns about the proposed CID's leadership and transparency, despite assurances of separate governance and financial accountability.
