Residents living around the Old Parkhurst Bowling and Soccer Club are set to raise their ire with the City of Johannesburg over the illegal occupation of the land.
The Greenside Residents Association has almost 4 000 signatures for a petition asking the City of Johannesburg to intervene in the illegal occupation of the abandoned Old Parkhurst Bowling and Soccer Club.
The property is owned by the Johannesburg Property Company (JPC) and is located in the west of Parkhurst, opposite the Pikitup waste centre on Victory Road.
The entire property is 8 hectares, but only 1ha can be built on because the ground was a dumping site that was repurposed and is therefore unsuitable for building foundations on.
