# Cape Independence Party has opened a criminal case against Stellenbosch Municipality, accusing officials of authorising illegal developments in the Botmaskop Nature Area. The party says municipal manager Geraldine Mettler has allowed roads, sewer lines, and other infrastructure to be constructed on the protected land, without legally required environmental approvals. The party’s Karl Bodin says Western Cape residents deserve a government that protects their biodiversity, not destroys it for alleged profit:
