Temba Boyi | 10 Hours Ago The City of Cape Town said on Saturday it listened to the views of a group of residents who want to boycott the World Cup. Abahlali baseMjondolo launched its Right to the City campaign on Saturday in a bid to get housing for the underprivileged in the Western Cape.
It plans to erect shacks outside Cape Town Stadium a few days before the first match unless adequate housing is allocated to the poor.
However, the city’s Kyllie Hatton said their hands are tied. “The City of Cape Town recognises and is empathetic to the significant housing challenges that we have in Cape Town. We have a number of interventions in place to deal with this challenge that includes the delivery of housing and upgrading of existing informal settlements,” she said.
