Civil society groups in Cape Town stopped traffic as they marched to the Civic Centre on Tuesday in support of a Khayelitsha resident who was seen dragged from his home back in July 2020, during lockdown.
The incident resulted in
Bulelani Qolani suing the municipality for R1.4 million. The protestors marched to hand over a list of demands, as they accused
the city of intimidating black working-class people.
According to Qolani he is suing for damages he sustained during his ordeal, when video footage went viral of the young man being dragged naked from the newly formed settlement.
According to reports about
over 100 activists rallied for the demonstration. The protestors have been
given 7 days before they can receive a respond.
