The Cape Town Minstrel Carnival Association CTMCA has launched a fundraising drive to support its legal fight against the City of Cape Town, seeking to compel it to provide a venue for minstrel competition events.
The CTMCA and the city have been embroiled in a legal battle since December 27, when the association lodged an urgent application in the Western Cape High Court after the city withdrew its provisional approval for the use of Vygieskraal Stadium.
The city said it withdrew the provisional booking a few days later, after identifying significant operational and safety concerns, including statutory venue risk-grading and event risk-grading limitations.
