CELLPHONE MASTS: COURT RULES AGAINST TELKOM
Construction unlawful DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke
T
he Supreme Court of Appeals recently ruled against parastatal Telkom, who since 2016 went ahead and unlawfully erected seven cellphone masts – five of which are in the northern suburbs of Cape Town. Two were erected in Brackenfell, and one each in Durbanville, Welgelegen and Goodwood.
At the time, Telkom planned to install 135 masts across Cape Town and went ahead and installed seven masts without obtaining approval from the City’s planning department, arguing that the municipal planning bylaw does not apply to them as a parastatal. The judgment was delivered on 25 September and followed on from an appeal Telkom lodged after the Western Cape High Court ruled in the City’s favour. In 2016, the City became aware of these masts after residents lodged complaints.
“Telkom argued that they were free to install cellphone towers wherever they deem fit, irrespective whether the land is zoned for that use or not,” Mayco member for spatial planning and environment Marian Nieuwoudt, said in a statement to the media last week. “I’m pleased that the Supreme Court of Appeals dismissed this argument and that the judgment concurs with the order from the Western Cape High Court last year that Telkom is bound by the municipal planning

by-law like all other developers and landowners in Cape Town.” She explains that all land in the City have a base zoning that determines how the land may be developed and what it can be used for. This zoning, among others is stipulated in the municipal planning bylaw. “The unanimous judgement affirmed the City’s constitutional mandate to regulate the use of land within its municipal borders,” she said.
