@MmusiMaimane how come you never stand with black people? Are they only good for votes. The #CliftonBeach situation is happening right under your nose. Show your support and stand with your fellow Africans and #OccupyCampsBay or #OccupyClifton pic.twitter.com/XgnUpRtCKk

The problem with some folks in the Western Cape is that their mindsets are deliberately stuck in colonial &apartheid era. They've made Cape Town a little sanctuary where overt racism is accepted &tolerated. I could tell you stories #occupyclifton #OccupyCampsBay #CliftonBeach pic.twitter.com/AUC0vDO2dS

The City of Cape Town is not only the most beautiful city in the world.

But is also the perfect display of the most unequal city in the world; where white apartheid privilege is on steroids. #ReclaimClifton #OccupyClifton #CliftonBeach @AlJazeera @AJEnglish

What's happening in Clifton is exactly why I'm going to buy property in Cape Town as a black person.There'd never be a Private Security company at that beach if the ratepayers association had a black person🤷🏾‍♂️Diversity everywhere is imperative.For now, #occupyclifton @702Aubrey
