Makaepea said that more than 1,250 shack dwellers are still living on rail reserves in Langa.He said this relocation would be part of Operation Bhekela’s phase two. Phase one happened in December with the relocation of over 800 families to the land next to the Stock Road train station in Philippi East.
Thousands of shack dwellers are still living on Metrorail’s rail reserves in Langa and on the line between Philippi and Khayelitsha in Cape Town.
The land identified for the permanent relocation of the Langa households still has an outstanding rezoning application, which was lodged with the City of Cape Town in August 2023. He added that the permanent relocation of the Langa families was dependent on the outcome of the City’s approval of the rezoning application.Some of the shack dwellers who were relocated in December by PRASA to land next to the train station in Philippi East were also at the meeting on Tuesday. They were demanding that services to the settlement improve immediately.
