(1/2) 👀 The Adonisi Matter (Tafelberg Judgment): What you need to know

PRESS STATEMENT: LANDMARK CONSTITUTIONAL COURT VICTORY FOR SPATIAL HOUSING JUSTICE mailchi.mp/nu.org.za/tafelbe…

In honour of Women’s Day 2025, and to celebrate excellence in filmmaking from African women, The Ladima Foundation is proud to announce a special once-off screening of the winning film “Mother City,” a South African film directed by Pearlie Joubert and Miki Redelinghuys and produced alongside Khetiwe Ngcobo. “With riveting intimacy and cinematic boldness, Mother City illuminates the human cost of policy failure and economic exclusion in one of the world’s most unequal cities. The film gives voice to a vision for a just and equal Cape Town, where the legacy of apartheid is not only acknowledged, but actively redressed. It asks us to reckon with the deep fault lines left unhealed by three decades of democracy—and dares us to imagine a different, more inclusive future. For its fearless storytelling, its urgent political relevance, and its moving portrait of dignity, resistance, and hope, Mother City is the recipient of the Adiaha Award.” - Ladima Foundation The film starts in 2016 when the Western Cape government sold the Tafelberg School, earmarked for affordable housing, to a private developer. This careless disregard of desperate housing needs gave birth to the social justice movement, “Reclaim the City”. Mother City follows, over 6 years, the David and Goliath battle in a city still disfigured by spatial apartheid. All proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to @ReclaimCT webtickets.co.za/v2/event.as…
