‘We are prepared to die in here’

Squatters living in the unfinished highway bridge on the Foreshore have vowed not to budge when the city comes to move them on Tuesday.

The group of about 40 people, spotted inside a hollow part of the bridge by Central City Improvement District (CCID) authorities during routine anti-crime operations last week, said they would fight the city authorities and the police if they were forced out of their “harmonious home”.

Spokesperson Jonathan Oswald Dreyer said they would not allow anyone into the bridge, and “we are prepared to die in here if they try and force us out”. - Cape Argus
