We adopted the slogan ‘Nothing for us without us!’ from the disabled movement in the United Kingdom. We adopted the phrase ‘grassroots urban planning’ from comrades in the urban movement in Brazil. This is why Ashraf Cassiem, the leader of the militant Western Cape Anti-Eviction Campaign developed the slogan ‘We are poor not stupid!’.

There are no political parties here. Our #occupation is democratic and our elected council meets on Saturdays and on Sunday all residents are invited to a big meeting, an assembly.
There is no private ownership of land here and renting is not allowed. Shebeens and drug selling are also not allowed. Women led the decision to not allow shebeens as they are associated with rape, violence against women and robberies.
