Displaced Ravensmead families who have refused to be relocated to a site in Happy Valley, Blackheath, are now living in a giant tent in very harsh conditions.
The big tent resounds to the cries of half-naked babies, possibly upset by Monday’s sweltering heat. Johannes Bastian, one of the leaders of the group of about 200 people, said: “This is a condition which is not fit for human settlement. There is strictly no privacy. If it rains, we will be in big trouble.”
There are six toilets and two smaller tents, which serve as bathrooms for men and women, next to the big tent.
Elsie Francis said the council should find them a place to stay quickly.
“We have suffered a lot, but this is the worst,” she said. - Cape Argus
