The City of Cape Town’s Streets, Public Places, and Prevention of Noise Nuisances by-law is back in the spotlight.

This after a letter was issued to the Imam of a Mosque in Salt River, saying they were transgressing noise pollution by-laws.

During a full council sitting last month the City said the Muslim call to prayer, and the sound of church bells tolling would be exempted from the noise by-law. The letter that was issued this past week, referencing a complaint of noise nuisance from the Tennyson Street Mosque in Salt River, has left authorities puzzled.

“We hope that the Muslims will put pressure on their political party to change the by-laws so that when the political parties table it in the City of Cape Town the DA won’t use its numbers to retain what is obviously a very oppressive by-law and also violate the constitutional right to freedom of religion.”“We have been asking since 2019 to have this amendment changed.
