# The City of Cape Town says it will oppose the South African Human Rights Commission’s court application to stop the release of 49 municipal land sites for development. Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis calls the move politicised, as it comes a week before elections and the commission raised no objections when the sites went through public participation. According to Hill-Lewis, the city has already provided information about the sites to the commission.
