Cellmast Challenge

Cellmast Challenge

Dear Concerned citizens,

Last year the High Court ruled against a cellphone tower in the Strawberry Lane area but MTN will be appealing this. A date for the High Court Appeal hasn’t been set yet, but we expect it to take place later this year in Bloemfontein.

Letters couriered to MTN’s executive management in March requested that in the interim they at least turn off the mast based on the vigorous objection by the community. This request was refused.

We are now escalating publicity around this important court case which has far-reaching implication for numerous other masts approved as “temporary” structures in Cape Town.
