Cape Town Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis announced plans to spend 108 million rand ($6.5 million) on the N2 Edge project, which includes building a 3-meter-high, 9-kilometer-long wall along a highway abutting townships and the airport to combat crime. Residents of poor communities like Khayelitsha argue the city should instead fund basic services such as housing and sanitation infrastructure that currently lack adequate resources.
