City of Cape Town: Establishment of a regional landfill site
Cliffe Dekker Hofmeyr advised the City of Cape Town on a challenge to the authorisation of the establishment of a regional landfill site.
This mandate is important as the City of Cape Town is running out of space in which to dispose of waste and it is critical that a new landfill site be established to ensure that adequate municipal services are supplied.

The PBO regulatory regime comes full circle with the regulations now in place
With the 13 May 2026 deadline for public benefit organisations (PBOs) to comply with the Public Benefit Organisations Act, Cap. 134 (PBO Act) looming, on 18 March 2026 the Kenyan Government gazetted the Public Benefit Organisations Regulations, 2026 (PBO Regulations), following the public participation period. The PBO Regulations provide the operational rules for implementing the PBO Act, including the framework for registration, governance, reporting and regulatory oversight by the Public Benefit Organisations Regulatory Authority (PBORA). For many organisations, the gazettement marks a decisive shift away from the legacy non-governmental organisations (NGOs) regulatory framework and signals the need to review internal governance structures, constitutional documents and compliance systems ahead of the transition timeline.
