About 300 flood victims who were occupying a Transnet building in Durban were evicted on Monday morning.
They had been living in the empty residential building, known as Montclair Lodge, for more than two weeks.Residents had been complaining about conditions in the halls as they were living with children and the elderly.
Gugu Kheswa, a spokesperson for uMsinsi Wokuzimilela SA Native Movement , addressed residents outside the building, saying the court should have communicated the date before they sent the sheriff to evict them. “We are very angry, as the movement, we call upon the eThekwini metro to intervene. Elderly people had been without meals since they were evicted in the morning, others are diabetic, they [are] supposed to have taken their chronic medication on time but [did] not.”Gloria Ndlela, 66, who said she was diabetic, nearly fainted when she saw people wearing red overalls kicking doors and throwing their belongings outside.
“I haven’t eaten since [this] morning. I am sitting here wondering what is next. I haven’t taken my chronic medication because I was forcefully evicted from the building.
