    Notes The AE&CI property in which Paardevlei lies is presently under re development to a light industry, commercial and housing area. There is considerable heavy vehicle activity in the area to the west and south of the vlei and adjacent to it. The vlei was been drained recently and is now about quarter full. I believe the vlei will remain as a feature of the developed area and is rumoured to be scheduled to have a waterfront development in time.
