The City of Cape Town, an alliance of civic organisations and Insight Property Developers have been at odds about what should happen to the Princess Vlei wetland for 12 years. The battle has been renewed this month as the City prepares to finalise plans for the development, which will see residents of Parkwood, Grassy Park and Retreat lose out on a recreational space.

The issue has turned into such a contentious one that the City of Cape Town has refused to comment about it on camera.
