The Housing Development Agency and Prasa are planning to relocate the illegal dwellers to the Weltevreden Wedge at the Philippi Horticultural Area in ward 43. The Weltevreden Wedge falls between Jakes Gerwell Drive and Weltevreden Drive.Prasa and the HDA have approached private land owners in the planned relocation area in the hope to acquire the land.
Ward councillor, Elton Jansen said that supporting more people in the area is not possible as there are already numerous existing challenges in the area that relate to basic services on land belonging to other spheres of government and private owners. He added: “Over the last couple of days I was called a liar by certain community leaders and local opposition party members and was threatened and harassed by the agent to the property owner on the wedge to withdraw my statement. I will stand by my statement.”“On 8 June 2022 PRASA informed various councillors from all political parties about their Central Line Recovery Plan and their plans to relocate people to an undisclosed site on the Weltevreden Wedge.
