losing out to the highest bidder.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cI could only afford R120 000, but I went up to R210 000 to hopefully secure the place for my staff and the community to have a place to gather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThey made it very exclusive for me to keep up with the bid.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Imminent closer of the restaurant has \u201cstaff traumatised\u201d with no future, says Eichel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat can I do? I\u2019ve lost all my savings and am walking out with nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDuring covid, I had to put my pension and my husband\u2019s pension into the business just to keep the place going and to pay my staff their wages. I\u2019m still traumatised.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The property tenant, who the City is yet to reveal, is expected to trade from June next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI feel victimised. It has not been appreciated what a woman of colour has done in the community. \u201cIt is like pushing us out, like our forefathers went through, what more must we still go through?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, residents had mixed reactions on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShame, all the older folk who loved their Friday night get-togethers for dance have lost their place to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAll because a few people would rather have an expensive, upmarket place instead,\u201d one resident wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another added: \u201cIt\u2019s not the City of Cape Town\u2019s proudest moment. All the locals from the valley and more modest areas will no longer have a local outlet they can afford.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A third resident wrote: \u201cGood business people know the value of that property. And will pay for it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
City of Cape Town spokesperson Luthando Tyhalibongo says an appeal would be premature as the bid offer is yet to be accepted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe City still needs to receive the offer and present it to the delegated authority for consideration and decision. As such, any purported appeal at this stage would be premature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAn appeal process would be premature, as the delegated authority must still make a decision on the bid offer.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tyhalibongo added that the City was not at liberty to divulge who had made the highest bid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe City still needs to make a decision on the offer, so we are not at liberty to provide personal and contact details at this stage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFollowing the successful conclusion of a lease agreement, the new tenant will be granted vacant occupation of the premises by 1 July 2024.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
