Share
Cape Town - The City and the attorneys for the more than 900 people occupying the Cissie Gool House (Woodstock Hospital) have reached an agreement, backed by an order of the Western Cape High Court, to conduct a survey to determine the identity and the number of occupiers.
The agreement came after occupiers, who come under the Reclaim the City banner, won their challenge against having the City conduct the survey and the court ordered that the survey must instead be conducted by the Centre for Applied Legal Studies (CALS), who are the attorneys for the occupiers.

This International Womenâs Day we must all choose to challenge the patriarchal system

International Womenâs Day was born out of the struggles of working women for equal pay, for equal work, and for full social, economic and political rights. It was first celebrated in 1911, a centenary ago, and the issues women struggled for â equal work for equal pay, the need to recognise womenâs rights as human rights â are as relevant today as then.
The celebrations of International Womenâs Day each year acknowledge achievements made and the challenges still remaining towards a truly inclusive, equal and non-sexist society and world.

Following Friday s hearing, the matter concerning the mass eviction of over 900 people from Cissie Gool House has been postponed to 22 April 2021
A statement by City of Cape Town Councillor Malusi Booi released on Friday, 26 February 2021, contains a number of factual errors regarding the events which led to the postponement of the City’s application for a court-ordered survey of the occupiers of the former Woodstock Hospital, now also known as Cissie Gool House.
Firstly, Councillor Booi omits to mention that the case was postponed after the City’s legal team adopted the wrong court procedures in placing the case on the unopposed motion roll of the Western Cape High Court.
