Residents furious as City of Cape Town awards controversial R1bn prime land tender

The City of Cape Town has awarded a controversial R1-billion tender to sell and transform stretches of its prime land between Clifton and Camps Bay - a move which residents feel will push up costs and start squeezing out those who can no longer afford to live there. The Clifton tender, which involves selling, as well as leasing out city-owned land, has been the centre of controversy for years.
