The Tafelberg case has reached its final stage at the Constitutional Court, the highest court in the country.
Judgment has been reserved.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who has supported us on this journey. But this moment demands that we organise beyond the courts.
We call on the Province to make a clear and decisive commitment to releasing the Tafelberg site for affordable housing—vague promises are not enough.
Poor and working-class people cannot live on the housing waiting list.
We will issue a thorough press statement soon.

I asked ChatGPT to describe your favorite politicians, except make it funny. The point was to see whether it could still “roast,” a prompt removed early on. Herewith, ChatGPT roasting your faves, but still nice.
A thread of kind (ish) roasts. 🪡🧵
