THE National Coloured Congress (NCC) has accused the DA of attempting to sell historically significant land in Cape Town as the City prepares for a major public auction of municipal properties later this year.

NCC leader Fadiel Adams alleged that the DA was planning to "sell off the birthright" of communities displaced under apartheid, claiming that prime land would be sold at below-market value and would not benefit poor residents of the city.

Adams further claimed that the move would entrench inequality and warned that it would be met with resistance.

No evidence was provided to substantiate claims of foreign beneficiaries or financial kickbacks.

"Prime parcels of land rightfully belonging to the coloured people of Cape Town will be sold at a fraction of their market value to Israeli and Ukranians with a financial kickback to the DA to fund its next election machine," Adams said in a statement.
