Thank you for all the messages of support. The rental company that manages the mansion we are occupying has threatened to involve the police despite the fact that evictions are currently still illegal.

We must reject this perception of occupiers that invites violence on people simply in need of homes.

If you connect with our cause and would like to show your solidarity to us and others like us, please mention us in your stories, @ the page, share our posts to ensure that we and other occupiers in this city are kept safe.

We know first hand how the police have responded to us as protesters and to us as occupiers in the past. The police protect private property over people.

1. Press Statement: #WESEEYOU to appear in Court on Friday, 2 October 2020
30 September 2020
We are a group of seven queer activists and artists who have been occupying a mansion in Camps Bay for just under two weeks. #takeupspace #webelonghere #holdyourground

2. We are here in protest of many issues, that are layered, complex & nuanced - as are our identities as queer people, and as those who have historically been divided by race and class. we have connected across struggle because we are in solidarity

3. we believe in justice, dignity, collective healing and our historical right to be allowed safe space in beautiful areas that we have historically been displaced from, areas we still would never be able to live in. #takeupspace #webelonghere #holdyourground
