Total old chap, it was more a worry about part of the circuit being sold off for redevelopment into office or housing, not hanging on to the old days and the original Kyalami.
The irony is that there is plenty of land adjoining Kyalami that could be developed in place of the circuit. Once again the greed of the land owners prevails.
Personally I would be extremely upset to see the circuit emancipated and reduced to a 'club' track, as South Africa has precious little to offer motor sport fans. The new circuit at Welkom is miles from anywhere and not easy to get to. Don't forget South Africa has virtually no public transport system and fans have to rely on cars to get to and from race meetings. Kyalami on the other hand has excellent access and is only a short drive from Johannesburg.
