Who is KERA and What Do We Do?

The Kirstenhof & Environs Residents’ Association (KERA) serves as the voice of the greater Kirstenhof community, including Kirstenhof, Orchard Village, Klein Wassenaar, Norfolk Park, and Frogmore Estate. KERA monitors and addresses key issues such as:

  1. Public participation in local land use, zoning, and departures.

  2. Infrastructure and services in Kirstenhof, Norfolk Park, Frogmore Estate, and Orchard Village.

  3. Reporting (C3 logging) of infrastructure faults.

  4. Maintenance of open spaces, green areas, and verges.

  5. Maintaining an ongoing dialogue with the City of Cape Town (COCT) through the Ward Councillor.

KERA is a voluntary committee, relying on resident membership fees to fund its activities.
