The Cape Town City Council is to sell two small vacant plots in Kraaifontein and a bigger piece of land in Khayelitsha.
Earlier in the meeting, the EFF’s Mbulelo Dwane asked Plato why the City of Cape Town took so long to develop vacant land.
Plato replied that, “Land is vacant for future housing development, we can’t develop housing all at once.” He emphasised that the City’s inability to meet housing demands was not unique to Cape Town. Many other metros are facing similar housing issues. Furthermore, housing development plans happened in phases, Plato told the council.
DA councillor Joseph Mbolompo said the building of the hospital would provide employment opportunities for small to medium enterprises during the construction phase.
