Cape Town’s plan to fix its most dangerous road under fire

• The City of Cape Town's R114-million project to build a wall along the N2 freeway has been met with criticism from community leaders and politicians who claim the wall will exacerbate the divide between Cape Town's wealthy and poor communities.
• Critics argue that the millions of rands earmarked for the wall would be better spent addressing housing shortages, community safety, and social development.
• Parliament's Appropriations Committee chairperson Mmusi Maimane has stated that the wall would become a symbol of the country's divided past, and that resources should be directed towards crime-fighting efforts.
