Campaign partners, African Policing Civilian Oversight Forum (APCOF) and Lawyers for Human Rights (LHR) invite you to attend a discussion about an impending legal challenge to the criminalisation of homelessness in Cape Town, which has been scheduled for hearing at the end of October. The discussion will take place on 29 of September, and will be a hybrid event hosted at APCOF offices in Cape Town and on Zoom. Given its potential to serve as a catalyst for reform across the country, the overall objective is to build awareness of the case, its potential impacts, and to identify advocacy opportunities that could guide future actions and activities to promote the decriminalisation of poverty and homelessness in South Africa.
