Cape councillor reprimanded for reckless behaviour

The City of Cape Town will investigate as a matter of urgency the circumstances which prompted a ward councillor to lead 200 residents from Belhar and Delft in an attempt to occupy empty houses of the N2 Gateway Housing Project. Frank Martin claims that 154 people were promised houses by December 14.

Mayoral committee member for Housing Dan Plato has dismissed Martin's action as irresponsible.

However Martin is adamant that his action was not rash. He claims to have had numerous meetings with the city council, the province and the company that manages the N2 Gateway Housing Project, Thubelitsha Homes, about the housing list. - SABC
