Today the independent NGO task team gathered to discuss and challenge the implementation of the Nuisance By Law which the City of Cape Town intends to impose.
A call has been made by various NGO’s and the general public to re think putting the By Law into practice as it will not only violate the constitutional rights of people but it will discriminate against the poor.
A memorandum has however been handed over to the city. NGO’s emphasised that if the city indeed does implement the By Law it will criminalise the poor.
However Anna Weeks of Sweat said that they have to date not received any information from the city and do not intend to draw up further memorandums.
