We took over the Rondebosch Golf Course because it’s unfair that the @CityofCT leases our best land for R1000 a year. MayCo member for housing, Malusi Booi makes no sense. It's clear the City does not even have a basic plan to redistribute land #redistributeallpublicland pic.twitter.com/W2tu0Flj2Z

Members of @ReclaimCT have arrived at the Rondebosch golf course to occupy this land. How is such a big piece of land leased for R1000 a year just for golf while we have a housing crisis? #OccupyRondebosch #WhyNotThisLand #HumanRightsDay pic.twitter.com/vFfipxX5sn

Housing is a human right! This is why on #HumanRightsDay we have occupied Rondebosch golf course. This land is owned by the city and is leased to the golf club for R1000 a yea a year! It is the size of 45 rugby fields. We say this land should be used for housing! @ReclaimCT pic.twitter.com/Q9C1i46DlX

We are now symbolically digging sand out of this sandpit. This should be the first foundations of affordable housing being built here!

We have to resort to occupying land in order for our children to have beautiful spaces to play sports in, and families to enjoy the outdoors.

One member pays R12 500 a year, while the Golf Club pays R1000 year to use this land. This is absolutely unacceptable!!
