The Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) has refuted allegations of outstanding electricity bills related to land in the District Six area. These claims surfaced amidst ongoing discussions surrounding the restitution of land to former residents forcibly removed during apartheid. CPUT maintains it has no outstanding debt and is cooperating with relevant parties to resolve the matter. The dispute centers on land CPUT currently occupies, which is subject to land claims by the District Six community. University officials state they are committed to a fair and transparent process regarding the land’s future. The claims of unpaid bills were publicly raised as part of negotiations surrounding the land transfer. CPUT asserts its financial records demonstrate current and consistent payment of utilities.
