EFF walks out of Cape Town mayoral dialogue over Cape Forum’s AfriForum links

The EFF in the Western Cape walked out of the “Beyond the Ballot” mayoral dialogue held on Sunday at the University of the Western Cape and hosted by Cape Flats Stories and The Bridge SA Movement. Provincial chairperson Unathi Ntame said organisers had concealed Cape Forum’s involvement and accused the event of advancing a racist, white supremacist and pro-apartheid agenda. The party also objected to Cape Forum materials distributed at the event, including the slogan “place the Cape’s future in Cape hands.” The dialogue was intended to address housing, land restitution, gender-based violence, gang violence and spatial inequality.
