The Western Cape government said it was contemplating the way forward after the Western Cape High Court dismissed its bid to appeal against an historic August 2020 decision on the Tafelberg site, which activists want for inner city social housing.

Cape Town - The spotlight will be on Premier Alan Winde when he delivers his state of the province address (SOPA) on Wednesday that highlights achievements as well as plans in the fight against the pandemic.
Winde will deliver his speech and host the subsequent debate in the Overberg town of Genadendal to which 50 people, including members of the provincial legislature, business chambers and local organisations, have been invited.
This is the second time the SOPA is to be held outside of the chamber, to include the community, after it took place in Mitchellâs Plain last year with a price tag of R1 million. But Speaker Masizole Mnqasela said they would not spend more than R200 000 for the two-day event and would also heed strict Covid-19 protocols.
