Macassar Village land occupation
The squatter's movement Abahlali baseMjondolo occupied a piece of vacant state owned land in Macassar Village, near Somerset West outside of Cape Town on 18 May 2009. The occupation was later destroyed by the city's anti-land invasion unit.
==Background==
Before occupying the land Abahlali baseMjondolo organised an open and public 'cleaning campaign' on the land during which the land was cleared.〔'(Second day of the cleaning campaign: The 14 May 2009 )' by Abahlali baseMjondolo, 14 May 2009〕 On the day of the occupation four people, including prominent academic Martin Legassick were arrested.〔'(3 held after police and homeless group clash )' by Aziz Hartley, Cape Times, 20 May 2009〕 The arrests, which were accompanied by shooting with rubber bullets, followed two attempts by the occupiers to barricade the N2 in protest at the demolition of their shacks by the police.〔'(Macassar invaders to stay put )' by Regan Thaw, Eyewitness News, 20 May 2005]〕 The Cape Times quoted Clarissa Benjamin, a 47-year-old mother of three as saying "We have no place to stay. The government has millions to spend on building stadiums for 2010, but I have been waiting for a house for the past 20 years.".〔'(Millions for stadiums, but no houses )' Arrests made as violent protests erupt over dismantling of newly-erected shacks by Francis Hweshe, Cape Times, 20 May 2009〕
Bush Radio reported that〔'(Land awarded to Macassar Village residents )', 21 May〕 the local councillor had agreed, on 20 May, to hand the land over to the residents on 21 May and that the occupiers expected Cape Town Mayor Dan Plato to hand the land over in person. However the City of Cape Town sent in its Anti-Land Invasions Unit to demolish the shacks on 21 May.〔'(The City reversed the decision by ward counselor (sic) at Macassar village )', Khayelitsha Struggles, 21 May 2009〕 According to Abahlali baseMjondolo the City demolished the shacks on the land each day since the land was occupied and the occupiers rebuilt their shacks each day.〔'(Ongoing Defiance of State Criminality at Macassar Village )', Abahlali baseMjondolo, 23 May 2009〕〔'(Land Occupation and the Limits of Party Politics )' by Richard Pithouse, South African Civil Society Information Service, 25 May 2009〕 Because the City had no court orders for any of these demolitions they were, according to an article in the Cape Argus, "in strict legal terms, criminal".〔'(It's the state that is flouting the law )' by Richard Pithouse, Cape Argus, 27 May 2009〕
