💨 Abstract

The City of Cape Town is facing a legal challenge over its new "city cleaning levy," with AfriForum, SAPOA, and CTCRA arguing it's illegal and a revenue-plugging ploy. Critics cite a recent court ruling against Tshwane's similar levy. The levy, based on property values, is defended by the City as vital for services and cleanliness, but opposed as lacking a proper legal basis and transparency.
