Cape Town â The Western Cape Department of Public Works has warned the Samekoms Movement against gathering at Porter Estate next to Tokai Forest on Saturday to launch its land restoration programme.
Samekoms administrator Gatto Wanzaâs response to IOL on Tuesday was: ââIn the culture of the indigenous people, problem-solving is done through dialogue, not through threats of violence.ââ
An undeterred Wanza said the gathering will still take place from 10am and a meeting tonight will provide more clarity on how they will proceed.
