This follows complaints from residents in
Bo-Kaap saying by destroying the building it would damage the streetscape and
the built environment of the Bo-Kaap and the rich heritage.
Western Cape MEC of Cultural Affairs and
Sports Ivan Meyer said he is serious about protecting the heritage of this
province.
Ministerial Spokesperson Daniel Johnson
said this decision by the Independent Appeals Tribunal means that local
communities can now start to get a sense that where necessary government will
step in and will do its best to protect the heritage of our local communities.
