Since 2019, over R1 billion has been spent to secure several sites under threat of invasion.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Responding to the announcement, Sheila Madikane, Reclaim the City activist, lambasted the lack of communication from local government officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor the past few years that we have been fighting for that, there has been no communication between the provincial government and the City. If they want to put up social housing on the Tafelberg site, they should have engaged with us.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey don\u2019t want to have meaningful engagement with us so that we can sit and have a round table and come up with solutions. They just decide on their own.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Madikane, who is also the house leader of the former Helen Bowden Nurses Home now called Ahmed Kathrada House in Sea Point, questioned the timing of the announcement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey know on 11 February we are in court, that\u2019s why they publish these lies and tell us that they will build social housing for people. They communicated among themselves without us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Blockquote\" data-pos=\"Middle\" id=\"embed_834e2a40\">\n<div class=\"text\">All these things that they are publishing are our ideas, now they make it seem like it\u2019s coming from them.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>She said they hope the court would rule in their favour and hear their pleas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy prayer is that the Constitutional Court will do its job and listen to the people\u2019s outcry and come up with a solution to what needs to be done for people who can\u2019t afford expensive flats and houses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe want the Constitutional Court to listen to our pain. They need to understand that we are also citizens of the Western Cape. It is not that we want it for free, but we want to pay a portion of the rent. We can\u2019t afford the current rent. Each year it increases. This is how people become homeless because of the evictions.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Buhle Booi, Head of Political Organising at Ndifuna Ukwazi, said in a press statement that they are still \u201cdigesting the announcement\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe province\u2019s statement is vague and we still need to understand from the province what the mixed-use affordable housing and the department of social development plans envisage. We question how the province came to its decision in light of the suspended public participation process that it announced and then unilaterally suspended with no consultation with interested and affected parties or any reason provided for the suspension of that process.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Booi said they need a \u201cfirm commitment to affordable housing\u201d on Tafelberg, not mere exploration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNine feasibility studies on Tafelberg have already shown that affordable and social housing are possible on the site. What is being explored when the housing crisis continues to compound? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Western Cape government must prioritise affordable housing for the vulnerable in Tafelberg to address the urgent housing needs and dismantle the enduring structures of spatial apartheid.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Saturday 8 February, members from Reclaim the City and Ndifuna Ukwazi staged a protest in Sea Point, emphasising their call for the site to be allocated for affordable housing ahead of a Constitutional Court hearing. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Housing activists
