The proposed Palestine House SA Centre for Human Rights in Sherwood, Durban. The buildings are expected to house an indoor/outdoor exhibition, a learning academy, a media hub, and a coffee shop.
The Sherwood Residents Association (SRA) in Durban has voiced concerns over the building of a Palestine House SA Centre for Human Rights in a residential area.
The SRA’s point of contention in its correspondence with Palestine House SA was that it was not given a written and detailed outline of the intended use of the Browns Grove property, including both interim and long-term plans. Also, a traffic management plan was not made available.
An old house on the property has been refurbished and is expected to house an indoor/outdoor exhibition, a learning academy, a media hub, and a coffee shop.
The SRA said several concerns raised by the committee in a meeting in January 2026 were not addressed.
