Gatvol Capetonian

Several political movements in the Western Cape are calling for greater autonomy for the province

The Cape Town-based group was propelled to national attention after it began agitating for the Western Cape to secede

The group’s stance is in line with the rise of global populism, which is rooted in falsehood

An exhibition explores how and why the photographer’s family name shifted from Mokwena to MacQuena in the 1960s

Communities in Parkwood, Vrygrond, Ocean View and Mitchell’s Plein have occupied vacant land in protest against the lack of housing in the province

Gatvol Capetonian is a coloured ultra-nationalist organisation but here’s the kicker: their racist culprit is the post-apartheid government

But there is already polarisation, as some activists disagree with the racist rhetoric doing the rounds

Three months ago, Shakirah Dramat began a small protest in Wale Street, on the periphery of the Bo-Kaap, during peak-hour traffic

It’s not just about land. Now the Cape Town protests are also pitting coloured people against their black neighbours
