Stolen Ground: The Tygerberg Raceway story — Who’s really behind the land grabs in South Africa?

For decades, Tygerberg Raceway was more than just a racetrack. It was a heartbeat for grassroots motorsport, a space where families gathered, dreams were built, and communities thrived. Today, it’s been swallowed whole — not by development, but by chaos.
In Stolen Ground: The Tygerberg Racetrack Story, we uncover the shocking truth behind one of the most controversial land invasions in Cape Town’s recent history. What happened at Tygerberg isn’t an isolated event — it’s part of a growing national crisis. Land grabs. Shack farming. Political silence. Legal paralysis. And ordinary citizens left to pick up the pieces.
From exclusive interviews with Chris Liebenberg, the man who tried to save the racetrack, to legal experts like Martin van Staden and Mark Oppenheimer, and high-ranking political figures such as JP Smith, Luyolo Mphithi, and Robert King, this documentary digs deep into:
– The PIE Act and how it weaponises land occupation
– The rise of shack farming syndicates and the economy of illegal settlements
– The failure of SAPS and law enforcement to act
– The political theatre that protects illegal invasions
– The economic and cultural loss to Cape Town’s motorsport community
– And the people — both occupiers and owners — caught in the crossfire
But this isn’t just a story of one racetrack. It’s a warning. If property rights continue to be eroded, if invasions continue unchecked, who’s next?
Watch the documentary they don’t want you to see — because when the law fails, truth becomes our last line of defence.
