Hi Ciarra,
I am currently living in a similar echo estate out on the west-rand (Letamo Game farm). Reading through your blog and various materials available on the web regarding the Meyersdal Echo Estate, it seems that we at Letamo is facing similar issues around game conservation and property development, conflict of interest between developers and various service providers etc.
I used to be the Chairman of the Board of Letamo Game Farm, which consists of representation from the developer and land owners with the Developer having the major share holding and obviously influence in the future of the 'development', hence the conflicts around game and development.
We are now at a cross roads in our development where we need to change, various concerned residents are coming forward, the normal political 'clicks' are formed and as a result nothing get's done etc.
I would be interested in the issues that exist in Meyersdal, maybe we could learn from one another. Would this be possible or could you point me to someone that can provide some information. I would like to hear from residents rather than service providers or developers.
Thanks in advance,
Tjaart Riekert

Hi all,
It's wonderful to be able to communicate with people from other estates. I have referred Tjaart to Rynette Farrar, but I would like to envite everybody who would like to talk to Tjaart to drop him an e-mail as he would like to hear from various residents. I will forward all mails to him as he does not wish his e-mail address advertised on the blog.
Ciarra
