# Minister of Sports, Arts and Culture, Gayton McKenzie, has rejected the City of Cape Town’s proposal for a mixed-use development next to Athlone Stadium. The metro recently opened a formal public participation process, running until July 7, to gather comments on the proposal to dispose of a portion of the stadium’s parking area along Klipfontein Road for a phased mixed-use development. Minister McKenzie has called this idea nonsense, saying the metro must redirect housing plans to affluent suburbs like Constantia.
