With the promulgation of this bylaw 1 029 outdated and unconstitutional bylaws of erstwhile municipalities have been repealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-30-small-municipalities\">30 small municipalities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before 1996, the City of Cape Town consisted of 30 separate small municipalities which were amalgamated into the six larger municipalities of Helderberg, Tygerberg, Blaauwberg, South Peninsula, Oostenberg and the City of Cape Town. In 2000, the six larger municipalities were dissolved to establish the City of Cape Town Metropolitan Municipality as we know it today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All the former municipalities adopted bylaws applicable to their area of jurisdiction, meaning that there were different bylaws applicable in different parts of Cape Town. The City of Cape Town has adopted a bylaw to repeal and replace these older bylaws. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the old bylaws repealed through this process date back to the 1890s. Also, some of these bylaws addressed matters that are no longer applicable, or fall outside of local government\u2019s mandate, for example radio antennas, traditional beer and guns, firearms and explosions. &#8220;This is the third and final bylaw of its kind. It took many years of thorough research to complete the investigation of all of the bylaws adopted over a period of more than 110 years by former municipalities that now make up the City of Cape Town,&#8221; said the City Manager Lungelo Mbandazayo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-repealed-bylaws\">Repealed bylaws<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Prior to this latest promulgation, two bylaws repealed bylaws adopted by the former municipalities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Repeal Bylaw of 2007 repealed 514 outdated bylaws.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li> The Repeal Bylaw of 2016 repealed 302 outdated bylaws.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;With the third repeal bylaw of 2025 we have repealed another 213 outdated bylaws. This process is now complete, and we can safely say there is not a single outdated or unconstitutional bylaw left on our books,&#8221; said Mbandazayo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cape Town has repealed outdated bylaws from former municipalities, completing the process of aligning regulations within the
