The Cape Coloured People’s Congress says the protest is, among other things, against poor service delivery in coloured communities and unemployment
The Cape Coloured People’s Congress has vowed to bring the City of Cape Town Metro to a standstill on Monday, with protests that it says could turn violent.
According to reports, a letter was seen circulating on social media in which one of the law enforcement bodies warn that the protests could start as early as 04:00 on Monday morning.
Dan Plato, the Mayor of Cape Town has urged the police to prevent the planned shutdown, saying the organisers intend to terrorise law-abiding residents.
The People’s Congress says the protest is, among other things against poor service delivery in coloured communities and employment.
In the letter, a warning was given that while Houtbay and Khayelitsha are the hotspot for land occupation, this could spread to areas such as Mannenberg, Eeste River, Masiphumeleke and Mitchells’s Plain.
Possible intimidation on public transport could be expected.
