Police have moved in once again to evict community members of Delft who are illegally occupying government houses of the N-2 Gateway Project near Cape Town.
They were evicted last week, only to move back into the homes after the security forces had left. About 500 community members from Delft and Belhar took occupation of the housing units on Wednesday after allegedly being told to do so by the area's ward councillor Frank Martin.
Martin has since been charged and is out on bail of R1000.
Many of the units are still under construction. Meanwhile, the community members' application today at the Bellville Magistrate's Court for an interdict against their eviction has been referred to the Cape High Court.
On Friday, police used rubber bullets to disperse the dwellers, who were throwing stones at them. Five people were arrested for public violence. - SABC
