There has been a confrontation between Joe Slovo fire victims and residents of the Old Flats hostel complex on the Cape Flats. A group of about 40 people was removed by residents of the hostel complex.
The group was housed in the hall after last year’s devastating fire in the Joe Slovo informal settlement. Police have moved in and are monitoring the situation.
Meanwhile the fire victims are standing around waiting to see if they will be allowed back into their residence.
Minister meets with flood victims
Lindiwe Sisulu, the housing minister, is on a return visit today to some of the flood ravaged areas of the Nelson Mandela Metro in the Eastern Cape. Sisulu and Sam Kwelitha, the housing MEC, are receiving a full briefing from officials.
The areas of Soweto-on Sea, Veeplaas and Chetty, were among those worst hit. About 6,000 families were either displaced or otherwise affected by the recent floods. Assessments conducted by local government to date have put the cost of the damage at R120 million. - SABC
