Residents of Phefeni, Soweto, have vowed to fight renewed efforts to build houses on a piece of land that was once used by Kaizer Chiefs when it was founded
"He will never build houses here. When people fight they use their hands. We will fight him even with our feet," said resident Thoko Mngomezulu.
"This space belongs to the community. When our children come back from school, this is where they train. On weekends, there are tournaments which are held here.Another resident, Jabulile Mthethwa, said:"This soccer pitch is very useful to us. Kids play here, schools [pupils] come and train here. We don't want those houses here.
"If that man tries to start building, we will take his construction material. This space is special to us. Kaizer Chiefs started from these grounds"."We've got permission to build, construction should [start] in about three to four months' time. If they want the land they must buy it," he said.But residents rejected Beckers's alternatives, saying the piece of land nearby was a just a dump site and the soccer pitch he was referring to was too far.
