The City plans for this site to be used as a mixed-use market and affordable housing development.
The public participation process for the old Woodstock Hospital, renamed Cissie Gool House by residents occupying the site, is set to end on January 31. Pic: File Housing lobby group Reclaim the City has urged Capetonians to take a stand against the displacement and lack of meaningful engagement as the public participation period for the disposal of Cissie Gool House comes to a close on 31 January 2025.
In October 2018, the Western Cape High Court granted the City an order interdicting and restraining Reclaim the City from ‘inciting persons to enter or be upon the property for the purpose of unlawfully occupying or invading’. This marked the start of sustaining the facility management and the City accelerating the planning for affordable housing.
Hendricks said that most of the people that are living at CGH, have applied for state subsidised housing, and are on the City's housing database. She said many of them have been waiting for decades for state subsidised housing. “And so for us, we know for a fact that what the city has been doing - where they evict tenants or they evict occupiers from City-occupied or City-rented homes - is that they have been allocating people to the peripheries of the city.”
“And so for us, it's quite frustrating that the city has taken this route...when they should have been meaningfully engaging with the affected and impacted occupiers.”
