Cape Town helps protest victims

The City of Cape Town has established a dedicated office where people who have suffered personal injury, or any loss or damage to property during the violent Satawu protest march two weeks ago can register until the end of this month. The initiative follows the public meeting hosted by executive mayor Helen Zille. She reiterated that the city is not allowed to provide personal legal advice or institute a class action on behalf of people who suffered damages. But the city can act as a facilitator to enable possible claimants to meet with legal professionals to consider the various options available.
