Squatters erected illegal informal settlement on Stellenbosch wine farm – Illegal Land grab shows people who are desperate for the land are not prepared to wait

Posted on Leave a comment

As the ANC promises to move forward with its plans to rework land expropriation without compensation into the Constitution, the party’s supporters are tired of waiting, and are taking things into their own hands.

A new exposé by the New York Times has highlighted how farm land in Stellenbosch has been occupied by squatters who are tired of waiting around for the national government to deliver on its land promises.

Between March and August 2018, land belonging to a wine farm owner near Kayamandi, was occupied by the squatters and a new informal settlement was erected.

According to the paper, while the courts have ordered that the squatters vacate the land, the informal settlement remains. Those who led the charge to occupy the land said it was done out of desperation and frustration with the slow rate of land reform.

Cleaning project at Nelson Mandela Bay worth more than R5.8 million struggles to kick off, one can only imagine where taxpayers money disappear to if it is not being used for the original purpose, certainly into some very fortune politicians ‘wallet ?

Posted on Leave a comment

The Nelson Mandela Bay’s informal settlement were earmarked to undergo a “cleaning” project on November 1, 2018.

The so-called “clean & green” project would have created 200 temporary jobs. Initially, head of public health, Yolisa Pali disrupted the project as she was not familiar with the task. So the plan was postponed to December 1 and yet again it couldn’t start due to a shortage of workers and the attention was shifted to clean up beaches.

Questions are asked about the hundreds of unemployed people in the area and of course why the neighborhoods are so dirty and where are the funds currently?

St Francis Bay fire: Mayor blames “informal settlers” for causing the blaze

Posted on Leave a comment

Horatio Hendricks has revealed what he believes the cause of the St Francis Bay fire to be, pinning the blame on a nearby informal settlement.

A raging fire tore through the coastal resort of St Francis Bay on Tuesday, as up to 20 homes were gutted by the blaze. Evacuations were carried out quickly and there has been no loss of life to report.

The fire has now been contained by the local fire department, who are also being assisted by resources from the Nelson Mandela Bay municipality. St Francis Bay is over 100km from the region, just south of Jeffrey’s Bay.

The teams attempting to tackle the inferno came up against strong winds and warm temperatures late into Tuesday, but the situation has since stabilised. Attention has now turned to establishing how exactly this situation developed.
