JOHANNESBURG - There are fears that the City of Gold is giving up its green spaces, and it's got residents seeing red.
The Botanical Gardens, Marks Park and The Pirates Club may be up for sale.
This is according to a motion heading to council to sell off the properties to private developers.

Residents are threatening to head to court if the move goes ahead.
But the Johannesburg Property Company says the spaces are safe, for now.
A report regarding public participation and possible sale of the properties is expected to be tabled at the Johannesburg council for approval this month.
