South Africa – the most unequal society in the world attempts to address social injustices with legislated land expropriation which has not yet been implemented. Despite this, thousands are fighting for their return to ancestral land while others are faced with violent attacks, trying to keep developers out. The Rise spans across a sphere of cultures which are fighting to exist in a colonised city, Cape Town.
