Reclaim the City is a movement of tenants and workers campaigning to stop our displacement from well-located areas and secure access to decent affordable housing. We believe it is time to take the struggle for housing to the centre of the city, to the heart of power, to the people who should live there, and to the land that matters. Land for people, not profit!
Reclaim the City members want to build an inclusive spatially just city. We are campaigning for the redistribution of empty and underutilised public land to poor and working class people. We provide support and solidarity to our members who are struggling with landlords and being evicted into homelessness. We believe they can be no just eviction in a housing crisis and we will give advice, defend and resist unjust evictions in the courts and on the streets. We provide the only temporary accommodation for evictees and homeless people at Ahmed Kathrada House and Cissie Gool House.

The Provincial Cabinet approved the sale of the Conradie site with a fair proportion of #affordablehousing. @helenzille this is good news & a milestone for #CapeTown. An opportunity to reverse spatial injustice.

Yesterday as parliament was debating on #LandExpropriation. Activists from @ReclaimCT @sjcoalition and @UniteBehind occupied #SiteB in the Cape Town CBD. It was sold by the City We are asking how can you sell prime public land in the midst of a housing crises?

@growthpoint describes itself as part of the Socially Responsible Index on the FTSE/JSE, but acted like gangsters in employing heavily armed and threatening private security in evicting protestors from SiteB Cape Town. This after lodging an ex-parte application. @ReclaimCT
