District Six residents who were forcibly removed from their homes under the then Group Areas Act have come to hear plans to move them back to the area.
CAPE TOWN – District Six land claimants have gathered at the Castle of Good Hope to get an update on processes underway to move them back to the area.
In August, last year, the Land Claims Court ruled the Rural Development and Land Reform Department, steered by then Minister Maite Nkoana-Mashabane, failed to come up with a plan for residents to be relocated. Addressing claimants at the event, Public Works and Infrastructure Minister, Patricia de Lille says no more excuses in the finalization of the restitution process will be tolerated.
