 Boom Application Update

We are part of the CCC - The Combined Chairperson's Committee , which was formed to challenge the JRA's stance that it could steamroll communities. 

As a result we are kept up to date of any developments which may occur in this regard and have clout with a large 'war' chest and the expertise of Dukes Attorneys.

The JRA has acted 'ultra vires' ( beyond its authority ) because it has not followed the guidelines that were promulgated and has been taken to task in court. The current situation is that all closures are in a state of limbo ! The JRA was procedurally incorrect by not calling for a public meeting which should have been attended by the SAPS, the community concerned, any interested parties and of course their own officials.

It would seem as though it was logistically impossible to carry out this requirement and thus where closures have been removed costs have been awarded and the JRA has had to restore the closure's security.

 
 

The reason being that at best if the JRA carries out the requirement and a closure is approved or if the appeal is upheld then within 2 years re-application would occur together with the exorbitant costs attached thereto.

Furthermore the JRA staff are reluctant to make any decisions as individuals can be held liable in their personal capacity for any incorrect decisions that are made.

The longer this drags on for the better!
