Cape Town 'zombie protest' against 'apartheid-style housing policy' Two activist groups, 'Yes Men' and 'Reclaim the City', join forces to stage a protest over the state of housing policy and urban planning in Cape Town. Their decision to dress as zombies highlights their view that the National Party, which implemented apartheid rule, has returned from the dead in the form of the Democratic Alliance party. The protesters assert that the DA now enact an economic - rather than race-based - apartheid, which they say is seen in the governance of the City of Cape Town Metropolitan Municipality.
