City of Cape Town slated over âdodgyâ R65m land deal

Cape Town â The City has been hauled before the Office of the Public Protector over a multimillion-rand âdodgyâ land deal, involving the City and the provincial government, to build houses for Dunoon residents.
This comes after Good party secretary-general Brett Herron lodged a complaint with the public protector over the deal, which cost nearly R65 million.
The 17-hectare portion of Racing Park Industrial West land was unsuitable for housing as it was a wetland, said Herron.
It was bought three years ago on an urgent basis - but to date no construction has taken place.
