Abrahams said we have now been left destitute, without a venue, for this years 40th anniversary of what is probably one of the most recognisable events in Cape Town and its clear that the city, despite publicly saying they still going to have a public consultation process, has made up their mind to hire out what should be a public venue to a private institution.
