rental units being built. The City of Cape Town said that the Salt River

The municipality said it was awaiting the approval of building plans for the
Pine Road project, which would see 240 affordable rental units being built. Good
party member and former DA councillor Brett Herron has strongly criticised the city
for apparent blockage of social housing in or near the CBD. The municipality
was slammed by Herron for cancelling the Request for Proposals (RFP’s) for five
inner city and Woodstock housing projects. Herron said that, ‘’the city’s
cancellation of the Request for Proposals for the city’s inexpensive housing project
two years after the request for proposals is a huge hindrance for integration
and for everyone who vision a sustainable post-apartheid city.”
Although
the city stated that it had cancelled RFP’s for locations so that it could follow
a variety process. This will ensure it fulfilled with municipal regulations.
