Description
In Cape Town's affluent areas, the city pursues "clean-up operations" in the build-up to recent local elections, supported by an amended bylaw which makes it illegal to sleep in public places. But now the city's homeless are fighting back in court. In a landmark ruling last month, a regional high court declared the District 6 eviction unlawful and accused municipal authorities of misusing bylaws to "criminalise the poor."
