WILDERNESS NEWS - Increased development and subdivision of properties in the quaint little village of Hoekwil could in the long run destroy its rural character, says a concerned resident, Richard Hutton.
It was for its tranquillity that he settled here seven years ago and he is anxious for it to remain that way. I am appalled by the developments going on in our village. Subdivision of erven, building of monstrous houses in eco-sensitive areas overlooking the Touw River, erection of ISP masts, and the list goes on.
