Stripped, hijacked and reeking of human waste, the buildings are not fit for human habitation
Numerous abandoned government-owned buildings in KwaZulu-Natal have become playgrounds for illegal activity.
The DA recently visited some of the houses and buildings. The party believes the buildings are not suitable for habitation and pose a danger to the public. The DA said there have been many discussions with the department of public works in the past 10 years to address the matter, but to no avail. Janus Horn, a member of the Mayville community policing forum , said Excelsior Court was a problem because at some point more than 200 people moved in at once and it was up to the forum and the local police to evict them.
Seitlholo and Nair later went to Howick where they visited three public works properties with councillor Janis Holmes.
