11 homeless people take the City of Cape Town to court

[WATCH] Johnny Jacobs and Pamela Xhosa, applicants taking the City of Cape Town to court, speak about their experience of homelessness and how the by-laws criminalise people like them.
Last week eleven people experiencing homelessness launched applications in both the Western Cape High Court and the Equality Court challenging the constitutionality and discriminatory impact of two of the City of Cape Town’s municipal by-laws, namely the By-law relating to Streets, Public Places and the Prevention of Noise Nuisances (2007) and the Integrated Waste Management By-law (2009).
