Reclaim The City

Reclaim The City (RTC) is a South African non-racial social movement campaigning for land and housing in Cape Town's inner-city and wealthy suburbs.

[1] Reclaim The City began first as a campaign against the state's sale of a piece of land in Sea Point called Tafelberg to be used for a private school.

According to reports, "The court declare[d] that the Province and City have failed in their constitutional duties to provide access to adequate housing and to land on an equitable basis.

RTC is now calling for government to respect the high court ruling and put in place a plan to build affordable housing on the site.

[8] Also in March 2017, Reclaim The City spearheaded a second occupation, that of the former Helen Bowden Nurses Home in the wealthy suburb of Green Point in Cape Town.
