Despite their stated commitment to spatial redress, both the Western Cape provincial government and the City of Cape Town were back in court on Friday, 12 March, arguing for leave to appeal “the Tafelberg judgment” – a high court ruling that has been celebrated by housing activists for its potential to redress the shameful and divisive legacy of spatial apartheid in Cape Town. Their arguments raise serious concerns about the state’s understanding of how to use well-located land to begin reversing the legacy of spatial injustice that continues to shape our city.
There is a game that land and housing activists play to think about spatial injustice. Players are divided into four sections of a room, with more people crowded at the back and everyone instructed to throw two balls into a basket that’s placed at the front. If your ball goes in, you may move forward. If not, you stay where you are.
