OUDTSHOORN NEWSFLASH - Harold and Angie Beaumont who ran Angie's G Spot in De Vlugt, are in the process of rebuilding their disrupted lives.
The couple lost a court battle against the George Municipality last year when the court ruled that structures on the property were illegal and that they were not allowed to run Angie's G Spot as a business anymore.
In May this year the sheriff personally carried out a demolition order and all structures except the Beaumonts' house and an ablution facility, were torn down. The house was also on the list of buildings to be demolished but the George Municipality agreed to let it remain until such time as plans for a new dwelling were submitted and approved.
With a visit to De Vlugt on Saturday the Oudtshoorn Courant found the Beaumonts in much better spirit than four months ago when they were busy taking down all the structures.
"We were fortunate that friends lent us two large tents in which we could store all our stuff." Harold Beaumont said. According to him, the George Municipality designated a place on the property where they are now allowed to build a new dwelling. He said that plans for a house have been drafted and submitted to the George Municipality by Chris Milne and Associates Architects.
"We are busy re-establishing ourselves and time will tell how things will turn out. We have been making a living on this property for eleven years and are not going to just pack up and disappear."
