The Mayor of Cape Town has announced a plan to level Suikerbossie Hill, which is widely supported by the city’s cycling community. The plan aims to change the geography of the municipality and rectify what the Mayor calls a “colossal mistake.” The rubble resulting from the demolition will be donated to Johannesburg for repairing potholes. The decision has been met with enthusiasm, and the city prepares to bid farewell to the notorious hill.
Over the past decade, Egypt has undergone significant changes under President Abdel Fattah alSisi’s leadership. The government has prioritized construction projects, resulting in numerous motorways in Cairo. These largescale infrastructure projects aim to impress the masses and provide the government with a sense of legitimacy. However, the projects have also displaced communities, green spaces, and historic sites.
