Mayco member Malusi Booi said the cost of providing temporary water services in accordance with the disaster declaration to informal settlements, situated on land not earmarked for habitation or on privately owned land, ran into tens of millions of rand.

Cape Town – Land invasions in several communities across the city have placed housing projects amounting to more than R1 billion in jeopardy.

In recent weeks, land invasions were seen in Mfuleni, Khayelitsha, Wallacedene in Kraaifontein, Delft, Dunoon, Firgrove in Macassar, Constantia, Milnerton and Nyanga. EFF provincial spokesperson Aishah Cassiem said the EFF Cape Metro would support land invasion and “soon we will start occupying the idling farms of Cape Town. This struggle will never stop until the land has been returned to its rightful owners”.

A 36-year-old mother of two and former waitress, Siphokazi Madubedube from Site C, said she would fight for space, whatever the cost.
