The Constitutional Court has ruled the Western Cape Government and the City of Cape Town failed to meet their constitutional obligation to provide affordable housing when they sold the Tafelberg site in Sea Point in 2015. The court said the decision perpetuated apartheid spatial patterns and that land in well-located areas must be used for housing with access to transport, jobs and services. Provincial Infrastructure Minister, Tertuis Simmers says the province respects the judgment and will engage stakeholders to comply within the set timeframes.
