the story of Hangberg, Hout Bay.
I atttended a solidarity march in hangberg with some fellow 'graphers on sunday afternoon. The march was held to protest Helen Zille's orders for police to shoot at community members who had been protesting pending evictions. History is repeating itself there & poor people have no voice. Hangberg is situated just above the main tourist attraction of the town, and it also has incredible views over the bay. It seems like its unacceptable for the DA for rich people in houtbay to have to look out onto shacks.
This is the first of a series of uploads that will explore the Hangberg story.
