The Western Cape government declined to attend a parliamentary portfolio committee meeting on Wednesday to discuss the implications of the landmark Tafelberg judgment. The judgment came after a decade-long campaign challenging the provincial government’s sale of the former Tafelberg School site in Sea Point. The provincial government was invited to Wednesday’s human settlements portfolio committee meeting. Simelane said her department had only received the SHRA presentation late Friday afternoon. In February, MPs were annoyed when they received SHRA’s presentation on the morning of the meeting.
