CITY'S GRAND EVICTION PLAN STALLED
Cape Argus
|June 26, 2025
Tent City application not yet submitted
RESIDENTS are holding the City to account for its promise to submit an eviction order for foreign nationals occupying the Wingfield and Paint City tents in Ysterplaat and Bellville, despite no application lodged a week after the City's grand announcement.
The City and national government last week said they were jointly seeking a High Court eviction order for the foreign nationals occupying the sites - a move criticised by housing rights activists Ndifuna Ukwazi.
Ward 56 councillor in Kensington, Cheslyn Steenberg, said they were awaiting the eviction.
