Scope and content
The LRC assisted an organisation known as Zwelihle Development Trust in many matters over the course of a few years. In this instance they drafted a contract for the sale of land adjacent to the Zwelihle community to a local developer. The proceeds of the sale were to accrue to the trust. The initial sale lapsed and another developer wanted to buy the property but at a rate below market value. The LRC assisted the ZDT in discouraging this sale. After 1994, however, a local authority for the Hermanus region was formed that included councillors fro Zwelihle. They approved the sale and R1 million was set aside for the ZDT. The ZDT was unhappy with the sale but no further intervention was asked for.
