Attention: MEC Nandi Mayathula Koza

Dear MEC,

RE: SOUTH HILLS EXT 2 (MOFFAT PARK)... / GAUT 002/11-12/E0042

The above matter refers.

Madam, we wish to thus submit the Appeal with the necessary annexures.

The grounds for appeal are threefold:

    1. The information provided to the department was not adequately reviewed.

    2. The time frames followed by the Department was not conducive to adequate review.

    3. The benefits of the project were not adequately reviewed.

We hope you find this in order and request written confirmation of this submission please.

Dr Theron
