Greenmarket Square in Cape Town | South Africa
The centre of Cape Town is becoming like the suburbs around. Here is the proof.
CAPE TOWN. the MARKETS and what to buy ????️ at GREENMARKET SQUARE, South Africa
SUBSCRIBE: - Greenmarket Square is a historical square in the centre of old Cape Town, South Africa. The square was built in 1696, when a burgher watch house was erected. Over the years, the square has served as a slave market, a vegetable market, a parking lot and more recently, an informal flea market trading mainly African souvenirs, crafts and curios. During the apartheid era, Greenmarket Square was often the focus of political protests, due in part to its proximity to parliament, as well as the ethnicity of its traders and shoppers.
Cape Town is a port city on South Africa’s southwest coast, on a peninsula beneath the imposing Table Mountain. Slowly rotating cable cars climb to the mountain’s flat top, from which there are sweeping views of the city, the busy harbor and boats heading for Robben Island, the notorious prison that once held Nelson Mandela, which is now a living museum.

Cape Town's Greenmarket Square traders unhappy with squatting refugees
Traders on Cape Town's Greenmarket Square say their businesses are in dire straits due to the pavement squatting of refugees. A group of around 600 refugees have been taking shelter in the Central Methodist church on the square since the end of October. This after they were evicted from nearby offices of the United Nations High Commissioner on Refugees. A meeting between the Traders Association and refugee leaders this morning appears to have averted a potential confrontation.

Refugees in Greenmarket Square | Carte Blanche | M-Net
A tense and dragged-out standoff between refugees seeking shelter from xenophobic persecution and authorities continued this week. Several hundred foreign immigrants who claim to have fled from attacks in the communities where they had been integrated have refused for at least four months to budge from Greenmarket Square and The Methodist Church until they are flown out of the country. Local businesses and hotels are fighting back, saying they’ve suffered severe losses due to noise-levels and the people pressure. Unhygienic and cramped conditions have escalated the problem into a human rights crisis. Carte Blanche investigates how the mess started.
