Basically, people should continue staying on the outskirts.”The city has not yet responded to a request for comment.Housing is a human right! This is why on #HumanRightsDay we have occupied Rondebosch golf course. This land is owned by the city and is leased to the golf club for R1000 a yea a year! It is the size of 45 rugby fields.
