The new system requires them to be registered with the South African Council For The Architectural Profession (SACAP), a process which many of these informal workers deem lengthy and expensive.

The famous Standard Bank building in Cape Town is going under the hammer – have you got a few millions?

Another external consultant who spoke to The Saturday Star on condition of anonymity is also concerned about the upcoming digital submission process. “The city is closing so many doors for external consultants and could lead to up to 300 people out of work,” she warned. “Not all of them have the capacity to do this and we as external consultants cut their work by two thirds when we are able to make the submissions on their behalf.”

“People already don't like change and pushing for the implementation of a system that many are not comfortable with is an issue,” he said. Despite the uproar over the new online submission system, the City of Joburg insisted that no municipal staff members would lose their job as a result of the new system.

Louw said that the city was introducing the new system in order to modernise the current Site Development and Building Plan permit system.
