About 30 beneficiaries of RDP houses forcefully removed from homes by a feared construction mafia.
About 30 beneficiaries of government’s RDP houses, who were forcefully removed from their homes by a feared construction mafia in uMlazi, south of Durban, are still waiting to be assisted. The incident took place in 2017.
But upon completion of phase one, gun-toting gangs chased out 30 occupants who had only occupied the homes for a month in 2017. The project has since been halted. “The municipality must act on the issue. Even now they didn’t even respond to us. They have never entertained us. We have been writing several times to the mayor’s office, but no one is responding,” says Ayanda Phoswa, another uMlazi resident.
