The activists entered a cage at Beacon Bay Retail Park on Monday morning and will make it their home for the next 11 days.

Khoisan activists in the Eastern Cape on Monday entered an animal cage and intend on sleeping in it for the next 11 days — protesting against what they believe was animal cruelty taking place at the East London Zoo.

Martin has previously said that the East London Zoo run by Buffalo City Metro Municipality , needed a radical re-think about the ongoing suffering of the zoo’s animals. Martin said the zoo did nothing for conservation awareness or education as the jaguar was kept in a tiny enclosure far from its natural habitat.

“This group believes that animals are punished to these animal homelands, like in East London, under the pretence of being educational but as was with the case of Sarah Baartman being put in a cage, it is just to fulfil the need for humans to satisfy their curiosity, to show power over these animals and to generate income against their will,” said Martin.
