Activist goes to great lengths to get Ramaphosa’s attention
Updated | By Heart FM
A Cape Town youth activist has received what he wanted after a week-long hunger strike.
President Cyril Ramaphosa's advisors are expected to visit Roscoe Jacobs in Hout Bay in two weeks' time.
Jacobs, who's also had ties to the African National Congress, wrote to the president, demanding suitable land and housing for Hout Bay's poorest people.
But after failing to receive a proper response, Jacobs decided not to eat for seven days.
Now, he says, Ramaphosa's people have come to back to him.
"I welcome this, I have asked them to stick to this commitment," says Jacobs.
