False dream by Abland

Abland together with Cosmopolitan and Central development have sold the community of Lion Pride a false dream. They falsely advertised the area of Lion Pride Lifestyle Estate that the retail stores such as Checkers and other reputable businesses will the their tenants. Now that people have bought property in the area in numbers, Abland as a company has made a U-turn. They are bringing retail stores such as Shoprite, Roots Butchery, OBC. Shops that we as residents don’t want. Such retailers will increase crime in our area, traffic, unwanted taxi rank.

We have previously conducted a survey and most of the community that lives in Lion Pride don’t want shops Abland has decided to bring. Abland please take a black child seriously for once. We already have three more Shoprite stores within 5 km radius. We urge you to reconsider your decision and bring Checkers store.

If you persist in bringing shops we don’t want, we are not going to use Lion Pride retail stores. We will use Chartsworth that is 6km away from Lion Pride. Clearly we are not your target market.
