'Rondebosch Golf Course... has been leased to a private club for R1,000 a year, while membership costs R15,750 a year.'
The activists were due to listen to Nick Budlender, one of the Ndifuna Ukwazi researchers who produced a report on Tuesday calling on the City of Cape Town to redistribute publicly-owned land such as Rondebosch Golf Club.
In a statement, Reclaim the City said it had"taken over Rondebosch golf course to protest the City of Cape Town’s failure to redistribute public land for affordable housing". "Rondebosch Golf Course is as big as 45 soccer fields and could house thousands of families. Instead, it has been leased to a private club for R1,000 a year, while membership costs R15,750 a year.
Mashele said the demonstrators wanted deputy mayor Ian Neilson to explain his plan for the golf course.
