Cape Town – Queer radical social justice movement #WeSeeYou say they have rejected the alternative accommodation offered to them by the City of Cape Town as the deadline for their eviction looms.
The group was issued an eviction notice in the Western Cape High Court on Friday, ordering them to vacate the property by midday on Thursday. If they complied with this, no costs would be ordered against them. “As activists and artists who have never engaged with the law in this manner, it was an informative and harrowing experience with brief moments of triumph. This case is unprecedented as a contestation of the value of human rights in the face of unjust property rights and provides us with hope that the law is able to take into account the lived realities, injustices and violence that the majority of us as queer and other marginalised people face in this country.
“The emergency accommodation offered by the City would be constructed as temporary shelter in an open field in Philippi. None of these options are adequate, none of these options are safe and sensitive to the realities of queer persons,” they said.
CityofCT What makes these people more important that the thousands of others waiting fir housing from CityofCT? It’s a huge problem with today’s society that everyone feels their needs are above those of everybody else’s. They’re just criminals, period WeSeeYou
CityofCT Sorry but fuck them.. No actually I wouldn't like to.. None of them
CityofCT What the hell does this mean: “none of these options are safe and sensitive to the realities of queer persons”. I didn’t realize queers needed special privileges! You bunch of filthy entitled pricks. Queer or not, you don’t need a mansion. 🤮
