PROBLEM BUILDING
THE City of Cape Town has demolished the derelict Special Quarters in Langa, clearing a building long associated with crime, overcrowding and decades of community frustration.
The demolition happened on Tuesday, bringing down a structure that City officials and residents have described for years as one of the township's most troubled sites.
"Today the City demolished the old Special Quarters in Langa, a site that had sadly become one of the area's most notorious problem buildings," said Mayco member for Safety and Security, JP Smith.
