The families, who were living in Belhar as backyarders, took up residence at vacant houses in the Pentech housing development in May 2021.

CAPE TOWN - A court process is underway to determine whether a group of eight Belhar families, who have taken up illegal occupation at a housing complex, will be evicted.

Bradley Jacobs, who moved his family into one of the units, said that they were given permission to move into the houses by a city official, who had been fired. "Where we stayed, it was wet and it was unbearable for us to stay at those places. We used to sit in the same Wendy house where you stay, the same room where you eat is the same room where you're going to put a bucket you use as a toilet."
