It gets pretty skinny around Stokes Valley - and I imagine even further down towards Taita there wouldn't be a wide enough fan to either left or right clear of terrain in case of a missed approach... am I right?
Similar reason as to why there's no Cat 3 auto-land at Wellington on 34 or 16 despite it being a v. busy airport in terms of movements - big, fat, solid hills on either side!
