The Western Cape government is preparing to relocate residents who are illegally occupying the abandoned Helen Bowden Nurses Home located on the corner of Granger Bay Boulevard and Beach Road, Green Point.
, Ntobeko Mbingeleli, a spokesperson for the Western Cape Department of Human Settlements and Infrastructure, said the relocation of residents was receiving attention but was being handled outside of court.
The old nurses’ home is in disrepair and lacks running water. Residents have to get water from the only tap on the property. Security guards patrol the property to prevent more people from joining the occupation, which is currently occupied by approximately 200 tenants.When the occupation began in March 2017, the government of the Western Cape turned off the electricity.
