Badih Chabaan (c. 1960 - 4 September 2017)
Chabaan was controversial for both his role in floor crossing politics within Cape Town politics and for the lease he held on trading in Greenmarket Square. For 15 years from 1992 to 2007, he held a lease on 83% of the square[3] and owed the city R3.3 million.[4] His lease was cancelled in 2007 amid accusations of mismanagement, racketeering and corruption.[4][5]
Chabaan died on 4 September 2017.[6]
