The unlawful occupation began during the national lockdown, and we are relieved it has come to an end, not only because of the Castle’s tourism and economic importance, but also for the sake of the unlawful occupants.
@@Someonewigg8368i worked at the Castle for many years. It started before COVID with just a few occupants. The homeless also occupied and put up their structures on other sidewalks closeby (just up the road from the castle) and in the CBD as well as in the main road of Observatory. COVID just made it worse however.
If I move from Durban to Cape Town. I will make sure that I have a place to stay when I arrive there. If I dont I will have to stay where I am. This is not the time of the voortrekker where you set off into the deep dark yonder and set up camp. This is what civilization is all about
The Castle what a big historical building for south africa, my history and the old Afrikaans love stories all based on this beautiful place. Can u just for a moment lose your eyes and try see it in the time of The Castle and the Governor greeting all the ship captains and have a big feast. ?
Power dynamics. There were lots of back and forths between the City, courts and national government for years. I know how the City had been trying for a while now.
it started when COVID hit during lockdown. Also, this land is owned by the military, ie run by an ANC minister. The Western Cape had to go to court to for the eviction. The courts don’t allow this unless a very large amount of due diligence is done in a Per Person level (you can’t evict a group or do it by piece of land). Cause as you know, housing is a protected right. You can’t just kick someone out. Even if it’s informal housing. All of the was hard to do, hence it took a while.
Hire security guards,its our national heritage just like Parliament, Surely Capetown can afford it and not anyone off the street,a reputable security company.
I don't think people will see this as a win like the organizers are hoping they will. The homelessness issue is real and it almost seems like they're sweeping it under the carpet.
And now the rest of the country. Thanks....and immigrants go back? And homeless, a place to rehabilitate and live. Much appreciated. Cyclists to be licensed. Thanks again.
That Castle holds the MOST painful history of our people in South Africa... The torture, the fear, the murders that took place behind these walls are a constant painful remind of Colonialism and Slavery.. It symbolises the absolute brutality and barbarian behaviour of the Coloniser and the suffering of the people... Let it be cleaned up and visited so all generations can remember the memories of the souls who suffered there...
I'm talking about the past sufferings of our people and the fact that it should be remembered... Off course current suffering has to be addressed, that's a no brainer! We can acknowledge both past and present suffering at the same time!
Shakes give us facts, of 3:17 suffering, and context. Do not talk from the cuff, speak the truth, or refrain from your distorted comments. Only Europeans have a written history. The uncivilized world had storytelling, which probably is unaccurate and told with a victim mentality. The fact that you referred to the Dutch as colonizers is an indication of your lack of knowledge. Subsequently, do research rather than making a fool of yourself.
So if we get down to basic humanity and compassion - were the people respectfully relocated or just dumped? Also, what about all their stuff? The little bit that was all that they owned? Yes, it was an eyesore. But the problem is deeper than that. These people need help.
Wonderful that trees are being planted planted at the Castle and made green. Just a pity the CoCT is going to rip out the established trees and shrubs in the King David Mowbray Golf Course to put up an unwanted monstrosity of concrete and destroy an eco system there!
It happened during Covid when a state of emergency was declared. Law enforcements hands were tied and couldn't remove/evict anyone. We also have NGO's who uses the plight of these people to generate an income for themselves.
@@jacquesdewet2661jip exactly and going through the back of durbanvilles farms to blouberg looks utterly disgusting after covid as well. Those newly build estates with no cars as the squatters are across the same street and fanta bottles invade the street leaves a sour taste
Just like so many history is important. Cape town was voted the most beautiful city in the world and illegal disgusting squatting will not be tolerated under an effective da government. Places have been set aside for the indigent with basic services.
This should never have been allowed in the first place.

Well done Cape Town
SHOCKING THE WAY THE CASTLE LOOKED...Absolute DISRESPECT of a Keypoint...No sympathy
agree! What does it say about SA when you show Visitors around! Glad it is sorted!

Now can they look at tent and shack city near kinsington by the graveyard. Absolutely disgusting
That area is really growing out of hand..
@@ashlouw5350 Poverty and cost of houses are getting out of hand
Absolutely disgusting. Please don't let any other places get to this state . Clean up all the squatters along freeways. They need to be in shelters.
Well done, DA! Can Joburg please take notes.
Thank you DA, you a party that works for the people 🙏💙 keep our city clean not a dump Site like Gauteng!
How many years did it take to evict them? How did this happen in the first place!?

Apply the rules and clean up the trash that they can’t seem to see!
Well done to our City officials.
Not "the oldest colonial building in SA". The oldest building in SA.
And what is not colonial about it doofus? Everything european in africa is colonial u koos... even you and your name

Well done Minister we need to keep our heritage for our future young generations 👏
I was stationed at the Castle 1981-1985. Lovely old building. This is sad.
Reclaim the Heritage Space ..it Can't be destroyed 👌
Well done! If existing laws are applied this can not happen unless SAP are delinquent. Their 'office' is up the road for heavens sake....
🔥Finally. That specific area was clean back in 2014. Hopefully, it won't happen again
Why was it allowed to get that bad is the question.
Power dynamics. There were lots of back and forths between the City, courts and national government for years. I know how the City had been trying for a while now.
it started when COVID hit during lockdown.
Also, this land is owned by the military, ie run by an ANC minister. The Western Cape had to go to court to for the eviction.

All of the was hard to do, hence it took a while.
ANC
Its about time. I hope they drain and refill those ponds too as they were used as a loo.
Where are they sending them to? This has happened before and then the evicted just find a new spot
Well done Cape Town 👏
Well done
Well done its high time!!!
...because we have laws to uphold. Tell that to Helen and her ubuntu bs for the illegal miners who are "trapped" in Stilfontein.
Glad they were evicted. I drove past when I visited Cape Town. It was disgusting
Hire security guards,its our national heritage just like Parliament,
Surely Capetown can afford it and not anyone off the street,a reputable security company.
Criminalizing Poverty kicking the can down the road.
The safe spaces are only for a few months, those people will be back or pop up elsewhere
Also the graveyards in Khayalitshsa now a shantytown.What de....
So glad to see this clean up. My Great Grandmother was born in the castle and was wrapped in a British flag, it was very sudden.
I don't think people will see this as a win like the organizers are hoping they will. The homelessness issue is real and it almost seems like they're sweeping it under the carpet.
joubert park in the 80s was beautiful
foreigners first, south africans Last.
Well done and congratulations for everyone involved
❤very well done.
Great job that not made for living national heritage
And now the rest of the country. Thanks....and immigrants go back? And homeless, a place to rehabilitate and live. Much appreciated. Cyclists to be licensed. Thanks again.
Pathetic Government !!!!!
How so?
It used to be a beautiful place to visit
Now the Union Building in Pta

Where are the promised RDP houses
Ask the construction mafias.

There were people suffering in worse ways outside the Castle. So it's better to see evidence of past suffering than the current suffering?

The DA allowed it to get like this and now wants credit.
How exactly did they allow this? They had no jurisdiction to stop it. The National Defense Department owns it.

where are these human beings being sent? how can poverty and mental illness be criminalized?
They weren’t sent to jail.
Regardless; they were living where they shouldn’t and themselves, didnt care about that.
Who cares ..they were given a newly built 300 bed safe haven but refused ...why ?? They dont want rules nor a solution to their predicament .
Honestly who cares? They clearly didn't care about their area if you had seen what it looked like. Actual garbage dump.
Get rid of the castle, colonial history is tedious. A victory would be turning that space into a low cost housing scheme
Mr Mayor clean CT station with Businesses owned by Foreigners. Look our people have no opportunities and became homeless baggers under DA.
How tf did this even happen? 😂
