Cape Town - The City of Cape Town on Friday warned that would-be occupiers of the incomplete national housing project - the N2 Gateway complex - would be violating the law if they carried out their threat of occupying the units.
In a statement, the city's director of human settlements, Seth Maqetuka, said the site near Langa was still a construction site and that there could be no accommodation available at this stage.
"It has come to the attention of the City that there are some members of the community around the N2 Gateway who have intimated that they would be invading those units that are deemed ready for occupation.
"It is critical to say that this would be illegal and those people involved in such an act would face the consequences thereof," said Maqetuka.
Part of the complex that generally looks complete still had some work to be done around it, for example landscaping.
Maqetuka said the process to allocate people to the units has been drafted and would be workshopped with all relevant stakeholders.
He appealed to all stakeholders to assist in this process and ensure fewer hold-ups in the allocation of housing in the Western Cape. - SAPA
