City of Cape Town slated over âdodgyâ R65m land deal
Share
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.

Educators have been in the news a lot this school year as they ve worked to provide safe, and sustainable, learning environments for themselves and their students amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Nauset Regional High School is operating with a hybrid model this year, with students in two cohorts in school two days a week. Wednesdays are a fully remote day so the school building can be cleaned.
This model hasn t worked for all students. High school seniors Joy McCarthy and Elizabeth Baird each asked for a plan that would suit their individual needs in this unusual year. McCarthy opted to be in school as much as possible, which is four days per week, while Baird, due to family concerns, has opted to go fully remote.

Cape Town – The Greater Table View Action Forum (GTAF) says it has noticed a serious decline in maintenance and upkeep in the Table View area.
From broken sewage and stormwater drain collectors to the deteriorating state of public parks that have been taken over by drug users, the forum said things had been getting worse over the past five years.
GTAF management committee member Dirk van Niekerk said the area had leaking and failing water infrastructure.
“In 2018, there were seven leaking water lines in Flamingo Vlei alone. By 2020 this had jumped up to 40, and for 2021 so far we’ve had 45 by the end of February, some of them major leaks.
