[OP-ED] “It’s alarming that the municipal leaders in @cityofct SA’s most spatially divided city believe they do not have a legal, as well as moral, duty to reverse spatial apartheid in the region where it was most brutally implemented”- NU’s @KylaHazell | bit.ly/3rXZcxC

[THREAD] Today @ReclaimCT & NU will be back in court in the #Tafelberg case to argue against the @WesternCapeGov & @CityofCT's applications for leave to appeal the progressive judgment. What does this mean? We explain in this thread #Land4PeopleNOTProfit
ObsCivicAssociation retweeted
Why is the #Tafelberg judgment so important? It affirms that the @WesternCapeGov & @CityofCT have a constitutional duty to combat spatial injustice by developing social housing in central Cape Town! #Land4PeopleNOT4Profit
