Description

Stacey Norman and J Sbu hosted a discussion with listeners about the impact of over-commercialising residential areas. The conversation was prompted by recent changes in places like Umhlanga, where new business developments, including a proposed casino, have sparked debate among residents.



Listeners described the transformation of quiet, seaside towns into busy commercial centres, raising concerns about increased traffic, noise, and pressure on local infrastructure. Stacey shared her own experiences of water, sewage, and traffic issues, noting that the area’s infrastructure now struggles to cope with the growing number of businesses and visitors.
