So two weeks ago I went to #CliftonBeach. The private security presence was noticeable. The clear message communicated that people like me were welcome. People unlike me? Not so much. Cape Town of today feels a lot like the Cape Town of my childhood in the 1970s. It’s not OK. Tweet added by Justine Limpitlaw @JustineLimLaw

@JustineLimLaw Define "unlike you" unless you want to instigate tension by playing with words . . . .

@JustineLimLaw This is courageous of you Justine to speak out against this horrendous and blatant racist conduct. It will not be tolerated and must never be allowed in this country, not again. Cleansing or no cleansing.

@JustineLimLaw Thank you for this reflection @JustineLimLaw . Yesterday, I posted about my discomfort & disappointment at the ‘coincidental’ positioning of armed PPA patrols next to our table.

@JustineLimLaw @shabs_i_r What precisely is "people like me" ❓🤔 🙂🍻 Ps. Could it that Cape Town feels like the 1970's because it is clean❓😏

@JustineLimLaw What was this clear message and how was it communicated? Were you with non-white people at the time & something happened? Specifics would help; *vaguely* inferring that there is some sort of racist agenda going on is unproductive.

@JustineLimLaw @kaysexwale Wow, people are asking how the unwelcome message was communicated. Really? So it is'nt enough what @JustineLimLaw says, you need specifics so you can decide whether racist undertones were present?

@JustineLimLaw Honestly, some people enjoy this privilege so much, they don't see anything wrong with it... And it's treatment, just the cold treatment will tell if you welcomed or not...!
