Cuando los reglamentos pasan por encima de la Constitución: una fiscal del Estado ajusta el tribunal de planeación de Ciudad del Cabo 07.07.2026

Daily Maverick

A mediados de junio de 2026, Thersia du Toit-Smit, una fiscal del Estado de alto rango, impugnó al tribunal de planeación de Ciudad del Cabo tras la aprobación de una estación de servicio de Engen en Durbanville. A pesar de contar con 222 objeciones, el tribunal, presidido por David Daniels, aprobó el sitio pese a su proximidad a una escuela primaria y viviendas residenciales. Du Toit-Smit, actuando como madre preocupada, presentó una solicitud de revocación alegando que la decisión vulneró los artículos 24 y 28 de la Constitución al no priorizar el interés superior de los niños e ignorar riesgos ambientales como la exposición al benceno. La investigación reveló además que la Alcaldía de Ciudad del Cabo eludió la legislación nacional al modificar los reglamentos locales para permitir que los miembros del tribunal de planeación municipal ocupen sus cargos de por vida, lo que podría comprometer la independencia legal y la transparencia del organismo en decisiones inmobiliarias de alto valor.
