The free concert will feature Jonathan Rubain, Don Vino, Candice Thornton and The Kiffness featuring Matthew Gold, plus a mass salsa class on the square.
The City of Cape Town will be hosting a free concert on Greenmarket Square on Thursday to revitalise the area after refugees, who had been living there for months, were removed.
NGOs and civil society organisations that tried to help the group were chased away as they held out for relocation to another country. “It is the City’s responsibility to ensure that we create an environment that enables business and events in Cape Town to grow, which means job opportunities for residents,” said the mayoral committee member for safety and security, JP Smith.
On Tuesday, the refugees were found sitting on a pavement around the corner from the police station, saying if they were arrested for any by-law infringements at least they would get food and a shower.
