Dating-app trap: Two arrested after alleged Cape Town robberies

The Daily Maverick has obtained and studied a 91-page response to the appeal for approval of the Equinix data centres near Cape Town International Airport. The developer, Planning Partners, acting on behalf of King Air Industria (KAI) and Equinix, argues that objections to the project stem from misunderstandings of municipal planning law.

Specifically, they claim that the City of Cape Town's zoning rules must explicitly permit data centres before any large-scale investments can proceed. The response confirms that Equinix is the primary party driving the development, despite initial denials. The appeal response explicitly states this on the second page.
