Can Prasa and the City of Cape Town find a middle ground to get the Central Line running again and soon?:
The Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa has had trouble getting railway routes that haven’t been working for different reasons back up and running.
Prasa and the Housing Development Agency are asking the City to approve the relocation of illegal occupants on a temporary, emergency basis in terms of Section 68 of the Municipal Planning By-law .Section 68 of the MPBL makes provision for the City to declare the land to be an emergency housing site and suspend the applicable zoning for a period of up to a maximum of 180 days to allow the land to be used for emergency housing.
For at least these reasons, the City is of the view that the current proposal does not meet the requirements for consideration by the City under Section 68 of the MPBL.
