CAPE TOWN – The Bo-Kaap community has on Friday taken its plea to halt an 18-story development to the Supreme Court of Appeal.
Residents in the area have been fighting for the preservation of their cultural heritage for several years.“The Western Cape High Court dismissed an application brought about by the Bo-Kaap Civic Association and others to review and set aside a decision by the municipal planning tribunal in June 2016. For us, it was important to take it to a higher level, which is the appeal court.”
She said allowing this development dubbed the 'Monster Building' would destroy the area's historic urban landscape.
It's time to end these 60m erections
