The City of Cape Town scored two victories in its attempt to halt the proposed N1/N2 Winelands Toll Highway Project in the Western Cape High Court.
The court has granted the City’s application for an interdict against the South African National Roads Agency Limited (SANRAL), seeking to halt it from taking any steps to implement the proposed project, pending the final determination of the City’s review application.
The City was also successful in its application that SANRAL be compelled to provide a number of documents which formed part of its decision-making process; and which SANRAL has been refusing to provide.
The City’s people and its economy simply cannot be burdened by unnecessary toll roads.
SANRAL’s decision is one that affects us all, but that will have a particularly profound effect on the poorest and most vulnerable groups that call Cape Town home.
