The Afrikaans Language and Culture Association (ATKV) and Hartenbos Waterwurm BK announced that they have reached a settlement following the application for an order of expulsion as requested by the ATKV.
The ATKV wishes to terminate the contract, according to the terms of the current lease, and to demolish the existing waterwurm, thereby allowing them to redevelop the facilities and create a new theme park at Hartenbos.
The settlement requires that the current tenants (Waterwurm BK) of the property on which the Hartenbos Waterwurm is located, will be permitted to operate the waterwurm during the forthcoming holiday season, until 12 January 2016. It will subsequently be removed in order to accommodate the new developments which are in the preparation stages.
The parties expressed mutual appreciation for the manner in which the dispute was resolved. (Gremlin)
