Graffiti Unit News Today

Boesak was in the area after City of Cape Town workers recently repainted over a mural of a Palestinian flag in Wicht Court last week. A viral video of the incident showed residents protesting as the City’s Graffiti Unit painted over the mural.

Lavender Hill residents earlier this week expressed frustration after city workers painted over a mural of the Palestinian flag on a wall of a block of flats in the area, under the watchful eye of law enforcement officers.

Pro-Palestine protesters created outrage after they vandalized the Los Angeles National Cemetery, the final resting place of around 90,000 veterans from World War I to Vietnam.

Responding to a social media post about the incident on Tuesday, the city said community members responsible for the mural had agreed to apply for permission to have the mural reinstalled on the public building, following an engagement with Graffiti Unit officials.
