HUGE NEWS!!!
The @CityofCT has announced its intention to pursue a mixed-income, mixed-use development at Mowbray Golf Course including affordable housing and genuinely accessible public open space. Years of activist pressure and advocacy are starting to pay off! 1/9

📢 | Housing activists welcome City’s intention to develop Mowbray golf course land | ⛳️
... "It makes little sense to have ten golf courses situated on well-located public land in the midst of our extreme housing and segregation crisis,” said @Nickbud_021 , of Ndifuna Ukwazi, welcoming the Mowbray golf course announcement.
“Cape Town’s urban form is currently socially, environmentally and fiscally unsustainable, and pursuing a mixed-use, mixed-income development at Mowbray Golf Course including genuinely public green space therefore makes sense from multiple perspectives,” he added.

Meanwhile South Africans are celebrating an Olympic gold medalist of Dutch descent.
A South African of Nigerian descent is where they draw the line.

There is redistribution on a fairly large scale (in South Africa).. the basis is there, if it wasn’t looted for the govt to deliver resources to the majority of the population

I think we all agree that we need to tax the super rich. This proposal from @gabriel_zucman is an important.. especially seeing that South Africa is taking over the G20 from Brazil next year

South Africa has 5 "dollar billionaires". If they paid a wealth tax of 2% we could pay for 7,000 nurses and teachers per province. Should billionaires pay more? Don't miss our podcast, dropping at 6pm today on the global proposal for a wealth tax. Reality Check with @ThembiMrototo youtu.be/xTov8dLP46k

“The problem with corporation tax is that it is a tax on profits. So, if you have an uncompetitive economy that can’t capitalise on global trends, then you don’t see those profits or the tax revenue..." - Hermann Pretorius, IRR
