Today we are standing for rightousness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cynthia Mashadana, a kitchen staff member, said she cannot sleep at night due to the constant worry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI feel so bad, every night we are crying.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Princess Chantal Revell from the First Nation Khoisan Council, who attended the prayer meeting and protest, said it was strange that the City auctioned the lease after so many years,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAfter all these years they want to auction the lease. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFirst of all, it is a woman that is in business. She has put so much into the business and she has different families working for her, mostly women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd just to think there are people working 25 years here, what are their children going to eat?\u201d She questioned whether there was a motive for putting the lease on auction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIs it a racial thing? Is it a case of where the rich gets richer and the poor gets poorer?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is certainly not a case of a rainbow nation, it is still a case of oppressing the few and marginalised. The Galley is on a Khoisan heritage route, we should be part of all the opportunities that there are in this country for all South Africans, especially women.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a statement on Friday 24 November, Mayco member for economic growth James Vos said the prime beachfront commercial premises in Fish Hoek received an overwhelming response from the market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI was pleased to see the restaurant\u2019s existing tenant take part in the auction. The tenant will be given notice, however, they will be able to trade at the premises during the crucial holiday season when tourists flock to our shores.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vos added that a 50m\u00b2 shop in the prime location of Jubilee Square in Simon\u2019s Town was also subject to a successful bid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The auction of a prime property
