This approach maximises underutilised land, driving long-term economic sustainability.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the first auction, the Galley restaurant owners bid up to R210 000 to retain the lease but were unsuccessful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The upcoming auction on Wednesday 2 October, with the opening bid starting from R100 000, came at short notice, claims Galley restaurant co-owner Mathea Eichel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am devastated, including our staff because on Tuesday 17 September, I received a cold-hearted letter from the City in which they notified me for the first time that there will be an auction,\u201d she shared. \u201cWe saw the auction being advertised, by luck, a week before the City told us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peoplespost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/9e6fedba7fad4cdd86fa15ceee114a4d.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"embed image\" style=\"text-align:center;\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An emotional Eichel tells <span><em>People\u2019s Post <\/em><\/span>she does not appreciate how the City treated her and the way they communicate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think anyone has been treated like this, a tenant of 37 years who developed their land, looked after their land during Covid and winters when there was no business but we are still there . . . they don\u2019t respect that. They treat us like we are just another number and that hurts, and is unacceptable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eichel says she has no issue paying the rent amount the City is asking for, they just need to communicate what they want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Blockquote\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_80fc3af4\">\n<div class=\"text\">\u201cThey need to tell us how much rent they want . . . why auction just to exclude us and why not go to tender?

The community is sad because the Khoi hut and Khoisan museum, which is part of our heritage, will also have to be removed.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Galley
