The ANC in the Western Cape has called on the Democratic Alliance (DA)-led coalition governing the City of Cape Town to dismiss DA city councillor, Frank Martin. Martin is accused of inciting the illegal invasion of unfinished houses under the N2 Gateway Project in Delft.
Provincial secretary Mcebisi Skwatsha says they condemn such actions, in the strongest possible terms. Skwatsha has also criticised Martin for allegedly telling the coloured community of Delft to occupy the houses on the premise that houses are only given to African people.
Skwatsha says they will refer Martin's utterances to the Human Rights' Commission. He says they are reckless, untrue and amount to hate speech.
Violent protest over housing
Meanwhile two people have been arrested at the Bossiesgif informal settlement in Plettenberg Bay for damage to property. This follows violent protests against the demolition of shacks in the area.
The protests erupted on Monday evening. Unconfirmed reports say 12 people were injured during clashes between police and the residents on Tuesday night. - SABC
