Housing activists who halted the sale of a Cape Town school say they have won their first battle but the war has only just begun.Premier Helen Zille's government agreed yesterday to halt the R135-million sale of Tafelberg School in Sea Point and start a public participation process.But Reclaim the City activists, who want state-owned land in the inner city to be used for low-cost housing, are now demanding to see all the paperwork relating to the decision to sell the school.After the court settlement between the provincial government and nongovernment organisation Ndifuna Ukwazi, Reclaim the City's Sharone Daniels said the release of the records would be a sign of "real participation", which should also include a public hearing.Daniels demanded to know why the province "declared the land surplus when the department of human settlements objected to the sale".She said: "Why did the province ignore a feasibility study showing that an affordable social housing development could be built on the site?
