'Not my area' - ANC and DA ward councillors disown informal settlement | GroundUp_News
The settlement exploded after residents discovered they were not included in the budget tabled in the council last Thursday.
The municipality demolished their shacks at first, but in 2018, after former mayor Mongameli Bobani froze land evictions, the settlement grew rapidly. "We are about 2 000 shack dwellers and we only received three communal taps. Those taps are at the entry points to this area. The rest of the people near Perseverance Road share water from a leaking pipe with cows," he added.
