Western Cape reveals mixed-income housing plans for Tafelberg site

# The Western Cape government has unveiled three mixed-use housing options for the contested Tafelberg site in Sea Point. The options combine high-end, affordable, and social units with retail space. Planning remains in the early stages, with public consultations set for June and formal participation in 2026. Housing activists welcomed the move as a step toward spatial justice. Officials have emphasised affordability and regulatory compliance in line with the Social Housing Regulatory Authority’s guidelines for subsidised rentals.
