Stellenbosch Municipality

Update on Dorp Street Sunday Market

It’s important for the public to understand that this is an administrative matter governed by specific legislation, and therefore, councillors are not permitted to intervene. Involving a councillor in this process would be improper. These matters are strictly handled by our Planning Department and does not involve any political interference or intervention.

The Municipality encourages organisers to appeal through the established administrative channels if they wish to contest the decision. This process ensures transparency and due process, and the outcome will be determined accordingly—not through public debate.

Engagements will take place with the market organisers, with the goal of identifying a more suitable location within the Stellenbosch town area that aligns with the Municipality’s regulations and ensures public safety.

For now, the market still continues to operate in the Black Horse Centre in Dorp Street, Stellenbosch.

A stunning day! ☀️
