Cape Town Mayor upholds R1m penalty on developer for unlawful 22-unit building in Oakdale, Bellville.

Cape Town Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis upheld a R1m penalty on a developer who built a 22-unit apartment building in Oakdale, Bellville, where only a single dwelling was permitted. The building encroached on neighbouring properties, lacked safety and plan approvals, and was declared unlawful. The developer must pay the penalty and comply with lawful development processes; otherwise, a demolition order may be sought.
