Hands off the Virginia Nature Reserve!

Sign the DA’s petition opposing the proposal for the Virginia Nature Reserve, north of Durban, to be partially cleared to make way for the development of luxury housing. This reserve is a refuge for complex ecosystems, and we cannot stand by while the ANC allows profit to trump the protection of our country's natural heritage.

Sign the DA’s petition opposing the ANC’s proposal for the prime Virginia Nature Reserve, north of Durban, to be partially cleared to make way for the development of luxury housing.

For decades, this reserve has remained a safe refuge for small mammals, rare amphibian life, endangered birds and ancient flora. The open spaces, serenity and fresh air provide a unique natural ecosystem within the surrounding urban environment. The Reserve serves as a green lung for the community, hosting hikers, birdwatchers, and other nature enthusiasts on a daily basis.

The ANC-run eThekwini metro and KZN province has, for decades, allowed developers to systematically grab play lots, open spaces and protected areas for housing development. This cannot continue – and the DA will at each turn oppose such ludicrous developmental plans. The destruction of complex biodiversity and the destabilisation of a protected area cannot be tolerated. 

Profit must not trump the protection of our natural heritage. We cannot allow big business and the provincial government to act without public participation or consciousness.
