DJ President Goliath won’t let counsel finish his argument and keeps debating him. She’s seemingly hostile and keeps interrupting him. She seems to be making conclusions already. She should just remain quiet for a minute and hear the argument. #MakeLiesbeekMatter

[Nadine Dirks @GogoMagosha]

Judge Goliath seems biased already. She talks about tangible and intangible heritage relating to the Liesbeek River. But surely this case is not just about the River but the entire area wherein battles against colonisation were fought and won (twice).

Spot on @AOC, We are in South Africa fighting a Giant (Amazon) who are building their African HQ on an ecologically sensitive indigenous heritage site. Profit over people and plant. #Maketheliesbeekmatter #climateresilience #StopCorporateGreed

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Yes, Amazon workers did pay for this - with lower wages, union busting, a frenzied and inhumane workplace, and delivery drivers not having health insurance during a pandemic.

And Amazon customers are paying for it with Amazon abusing their market power to hurt small business.

[Belisa Rodrigues @Belisa5]

@AOC @AOC Amazon are building their African HQ on Sacred Indigenous land in South Africa atm. Will u help us raise objections to this re-colonisation?#maketheliesbeekmatter https://t.co/LTZs6l5VPV

@FutureWaterUCT, with the imminent threat of bulldozers ploughing up wetlands/floodplain in Observatory, Cape Town, what has the UCT Water Futures Institute done in terms of advocacy and/or research on its doorstep to protect and conserve our water commons for future generations?

[WATCH] The #RiverClub development on land that has profound historical, political & heritage significance for Khoi & San groups is a re-wounding of colonial pain & trauma. Check out this news segment by @AlJazeera_World for more! | https://t.co/boyYsVFkyz
