The City of Cape Town was ordered to halt the proposed sale of 72 hectares of land in Milnerton to a private developer. This action followed the constitutional court setting strict rules on land disposal. The land, acquired nine years ago using Urban Settlements Development Grants, is currently valued at about R256 million.
