A slanderous attack on a professor by a Khoi group supporting the controversial River Club development has resulted in the University of Cape Town issuing a statement attesting to his integrity and supporting his freedom to be involved in civic action in the interests of social justice.
The statement of support issued by UCT and the Faculty of Health Sciences on Thursday 27 May came after Professor Leslie London, who is the chair of the Observatory Civic Association, was targeted in an email apparently distributed by the First Nations Collective which supports the R4.5bn complex to be built on the River Club site at the confluence of the Liesbeek and Black River in Observatory. The River Club development is to include Amazon’s new African headquarters.

Cape Town - A group of people calling themselves the Willow Arts Collective who have been living on the land where the former SA National Circus School stood, next to Hartleyvale Stadium in Observatory, will have to wait until June 28 to hear their fate in their case against the City.
During the hearing at the Cape Town Magistrateâs Court Willow Arts Collective advocate Zeynab Titus argued for an application to strike out the City s housing report for the land as it was entered into the record in the Cityâs replying affidavit rather than in the founding affidavit.
