Cape Town - Housing lobby groups are calling for the SABC to consider its well-located Rocklands Villas residential property in Sea Point that is up for public auction, for affordable housing.
The public broadcaster issued notices of termination of lease agreements for its non-core properties in December, and that it would sell these at a public auction, however, a date was not given.
This as the company battles to unlock new revenue streams to stay afloat.
SABC acting spokesperson Mmoni Seapolelo said having followed the processes required in terms of the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA), the disposal of non-core assets in Cape Town was part of the organisation’s Turnaround Strategy and Target Operating Model.
The City of Cape Town reached a deal with the occupiers of the defunct Woodstock Hospital.
The hospital was occupied in March 2017 and, since the occupation, the number of residents has increased.
According to the City, the occupation has seen an increase in by-law contraventions.
The City of Cape Town has reached a mutual agreement with the occupiers of the defunct Woodstock Hospital.
The deal comes after the occupiers challenged the City s application for a court order to survey the over 900 residents.
The matter was heard in the Western Cape High Court on Thursday while residents held a demonstration outside.
