The High Court confirmed a previous order requiring the City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality to comply with an earlier 2022 order. It also ordered the municipality to finalise a rezoning application and to set a date for a pending section 62 appeal hearing by 13 May 2026. The court dealt with costs by ordering the first and second respondents to pay unopposed costs and the applicant to pay the third and fourth respondents’ costs on an attorney and client scale.
This may be relevant to municipal planning, rezoning, municipal services and costs disputes involving the City of Tshwane and related applicants.
