Gig workers around the world experience long hours, unpredictable and declining pay, and serious safety risks. Governments negotiating a landmark ILO treaty on platform work should adopt strong, binding standards https://t.co/vlCZwNLCX8

[Ndifuna Ukwazi @NdifunaUkwazi]

For over a decade, Ndifuna Ukwazi and Reclaim the City have been calling for a Transitional Housing / Temporary Emergency Accommodation (TEA) Policy.

​In a landmark victory, with Ndifuna Ukwazi Law Centre representing the Bromwell Street families, the Constitutional Court on 20 December 2024 ordered the City of Cape Town to develop a reasonable Temporary Emergency Accommodation Policy. The Court directed that this policy must be implemented alongside the National Emergency Housing Programme, and in a manner consistent with the Constitution.

​On 2 February 2026, the City of Cape Town finally released a draft Temporary Emergency Accommodation Policy for public comment, with a deadline of 2 March 2026.

​In the 2017 documentary Not in My Neighbourhood, the Bromwell Street families are featured as they resist gentrification, alongside communities in Brazil and New York.

​We are hosting this screening to create space for critical conversation about housing, displacement, and dignity. With the City’s TEA Policy currently open for public comment, this is a decisive moment. The policy will shape how people are treated when they are evicted or displaced - whether they are provided with safe, dignified, and well-located housing, or pushed further to the margins.

​Not in My Neighbourhood exposes the realities of gentrification and the human cost behind development. Join us to watch, reflect, and take action.

Loss of America as a British Colony dealt a blow to British Empire but did not mark its decline. British Empire’s focus now moved to Asia, especially India where Britain built a more centralized and economically extractive empire. The shift from an Atlantic Ocean to Indian Ocean made Britain the dominant global power of 19th century. Western/British historians therefore don’t rue loss of America because they think British empire ultimately strengthened by turning eastward. And it did - or so it seemed.
But ultimately Britain weakened because it did not learn the right lessons from loss of America. Britain was weakened gradually because the United States emerged as a powerful rival. American Revolution demonstrated colonies could successfully rebel. And revolutionary movements were born in other colonies. Britain did not see this coming.
Britain of 1783 is America of 2026.
Alternate markets will emerge and strengthen. Never be arrogant of the buying potential of one market.

A Swedish court has convicted and sentenced a woman for keeping Yazidi women and children as sex slaves.

It's a major victory for the Yazidi community who've spent more than a decade seeking justice. Yet this accountability still remains elusive for many. https://t.co/XbnzE3CVpK
