In Hout Bay, they try to sell The Sentinel, but protestors say: NO!

SHOOT: How can anyone own a mountain? It belongs to everyone.

clipped from www.news24.com A recent report in the Sunday Times said the 321m-high Cape Town landmark in Hout Bay had come to the attention of a short list of celebrities and tycoons, who include Oprah Winfrey, Sol Kerzner, Donald Trump jnr as well as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The new owners could, if they wished, be able to name the peak after themselves as The Sentinel is not a registered trademark. Auctioneers have reportedly turned down two offers, including one for R15m, after buying the property for only R60 000 in 2005. The protesters say the mountain belongs to the indigenous people of South Africa and cannot belong to a private owner. The auction was cancelled after the protest.
