Disgruntled community members from informal settlements on the Cape Flats are marching through the Cape Town city centre. They are protesting against a housing development which forms part of the N2 Gateway Housing Project.
They are against houses being built on the piece of land currently occupied by Joe Slovo residents in Langa. The group is also questioning FNBs partnership with the provincial government. Residents say the bank is fully aware that they are refusing to vacate the land which they have occupied for the past 10 years. It is alleged that FNB has been contracted by the provincial government to build houses costing between R150,000 – R300,000.
They are expected to hand over a memorandum at the offices of government's housing agency, Thubelitsha. - SABC
