Cape Town residents protesting against the controversial forced closure of Cape Town's world-famous Clifton Fourth Beach earlier in the week slaughtered a sheep as part of a traditional ceremony on the beach on Friday evening.
The ceremony attracted the attention of animal rights activists who objected to the slaughter.
The incident is the latest in the saga which unfolded after beach-goers were instructed to leave the beach by a private security company.
The actions by private security company PPA sparked outrage, with many people drawing parallels between that and apartheid-era legislation and action which saw black people prohibited from frequenting beaches set aside for whites.
A group of several hundred people gathered on the beach late on Friday as part of a protest against the controversial move and to fight against racism and declare their intention of claiming back the city. - ANA
