- Families living in 64 illegal structures in Mitchells Plain face eviction. The City of Cape Town plans to build a cemetery on the land. The Western Cape High Court has granted the city an interim interdict to prevent anymore people from occupying the land. Newzroom Afrika’s Yazeed Kamaldien reports.

This is why I don’t like this grant payments. Her oldest is 18 and already has a kid and now I have to pay taxes that ends up paying her daughter who decided to have a child meanwhile I don’t have a child because I’m to busy working. This is why this “All-Pay” needs to end
You are not wrong. But what is the alternative? You want the innocent child to perish in total poverty?
It would be best if people think before making babies. But these are very very poor people. They are not educated. You cannot expect them to act rationally as educated people.
These people are on the fringes of thr capitalist system, they have no marketable skills. They need to be integrated by the state into occupations that suit their abilities, but grants them at least a basic living standard and economuc integration, the way its done in socialist and social democratic societies. Capitalism doesn't offer any solutions to uplift such people.
@@esahm373Here we are again making excuses for people not practicing family planning. They are on grants for reasons that are political which is why ANC often reminds them. Blaming this on capitalism when the state can just offer adequate resources is pathetic.
Yes it has to end so that young girls don't get pregnant without marriage.
@@Tripleexel Making excuses? Is it really too difficult to comprehend my rather simple comment highlighting the mechanisms behind unplanned parenthood at an young age? Are you arguing that these girls have a chance to engage in proper family planning, but just refuse to, because they love to be burdened with a child that they cannot feed, nor offer anything of substance? It seems you are completely out of touch with reality on the ground!
@@esahm373Before opening... think about protection.
"Common Sense"
Unfortunately in this country most don't possess it.
18yrs old, no stale place to stay...but pregnant 👏. The cycle continues.
Watching from New Zealand this is the reason why I left my country our government do not care about the people of South Africa honestly very sad to watch man eish😢
Since you no longer live here, butt out.
Which people collect rent from the people here.This is not a right living place.Build for them.This country is (Do your own thing). ln other cases they will tell you about the laws and rules in such incidents no one is there and people do what they like also with these Grants is just Hollywood for them mmmmm.I I wonder for how long?.

City of Cape Town is cruel imagine catering for the dead while the living must suffer how disgusting
These people must not move they must insist on the city giving them a place to live
Unfortunately you don’t know what you are talking about.
What i cant understan where is the political parties now whilst these people get evicted they will do anything to get your votes but in time of crisis now where to be seen I salute Gift of the givers for their input in the community
This is indeed the manifestation of housing needs, historically engineered by apartheid spatial planning and further embolden by neoliberal income-base policies .....it would be the highest form of ignorance to tackle the symptoms of this socioeconomic problem without fixing the source of this challenge because by its nature it's a generational and vicious poverty problem.
Very sad. They should be given a safe alternative. A lot of people with precarious work were made homeless due to the strict covid lockdown rules.
Ultimately due to the ANC.
I cant see how people keep gvrment responsible fr houses Im not sure really why??
The government did build new housing in soweto
@@chicargo.they built RDP houses in Western Cape too, in Capetown some of the RDP houses were sold to drug lords.
You can’t provide large scale social housing without government involvement either providing finance or construction. Developed countries do/did the same to create housing stock. Shelter is a basic human need. South Africa’s first national scheme for financing public housing passed into law. The Housing Act, number 35 of 1920, created a fund administered by a Central Housing Board, from which municipalities could borrow to support construction of houses at a lower interest rate than available elsewhere. There has been over a century of public, or state, housing finance, through housing laws and practices. South African public housing practice pre-democracy, including the 1920 Act, has often been described as fundamentally racist. Nkambule (2015: 41-42) wrote that ‘Soon after the formation of the Union in 1910, a housing act was legislated … subsequent spatial settlement in urban spaces and specifically housing policies and programmes were linked … to the broader geo-political system of racial domination in the country.’ It was designed to benefit & give a leg up to the minority European settler class at the expense of all others. Trying to undo this damage + failures or inadequate interventions of the past 30yrs is going to be a work of a lifetime.
And yet the City does nothing about Siqalo squater camp that is on someones property for years and shacks still going up.
DA must answer
Why?
That is aboriginal ground.the city can't put them off that land cause they are aboriginal.
Coloureds are eezy targets
Yes they are,they too divided
Number gangs is dividing them and they dont want to see each other prosper,so yes they easy targets
Where must they go to????
They must be given alternative accommodation as ruled by the constitutional court.
@@christinefinniss6263why can't they put up structures but the bantu can
Where did they come from......they were never there before? They must go back home.
@@zendabawork7632 same like the people in langa and nayanga and all other iligal sacks,they must go home to Eastern cape
You remove people living on the land ....to bury people 😢😮😢😮😢😮😮
Thats our land anyways.Why are people from eastern cape getting land????
Maybe they don't know bout family planning it's free
Heartbreaking stuff 💔
The DA led Western Cape Government launched ‘The better living challenge’ in 2014…since then the housing backlog has ballooned to 400k. ANC national government and DA provincial government have failed.
..start by atleast subscribing and sharing.Salute Bruin Ou!
We need a new change of goverment who will do for the comunities whats needed.Do unto others as you wld want them to do unto you.WE ARE SLL HUMAN WTH THE SAME NEEDS!😪🤢🤮
Zvote pa not da
They always do this with the coloured people like in houtbay a year back if I am correct but just look in African areas look in langa and other place build their house on train lines and don't get removed they just go and put hokkies on anywhere I am on waiting list for 22years don't get a house 😡
Yes correct they can't throw down hokkies in that areas
Offcoz they can't break down in your langas etc then it's wrong but where the coloureds squat it's ok and right to breakdown. Oppression is still persisting we need Fadiel Adams of the NCC in this matter
Journalist, why don't you allow the woman to speak Afrikaans?
Dude why dont you speak afrikaans.Or tell her she can speak afrikaans.
He keeps him Mos now kwaai against his own
There is a baby😢
This broadcast is biased. The CCT can’t put people out without offering them alternative accommodation.
..Do they even care about poor people.
So they can just set up wherever they want?
@@Tripleexel Every area that I know that has illegal occupants is due to poor management, tell me one place that is well managed and illegally occupied? People see a vacant that hasn't been used for a long time and use it. Guess, after eviction they are going straight to another poorly managed property coz they have no alternative. Remember that right to shelter is their constitutional right.
@@sindiso_ndlovu Thank you for reminding them. They forcefully moved people from their land during colonization and apartheid now they think they have a right to continue to deny the victims of apartheid access to land in 2024. White people have no moral authority to speak on land after everything they have done to us.
@@Tripleexel . Certainly seems like it.
Where are those who were telling people make kids n will give them R1000...but in the meantime people are suffering....where are the politicians...big talk no action ....is there no other land to bury the dead ...😢😢
DA and their tendencies Mxm
They should be more like the ANC. Look at the Eastern Cape. A perfect example to follow
@@Tripleexel The ANC is the worst example to follow but since Ramaphosa became ANC president we've seen the dangerous DA/ANC tag team work to remove black excellence in Adv Mkhwebane and Judge Hlophe
@@biko8229 i think the previous comment was sarcastic. But Hlope DID transgress, so why shouldn't he be held accountable
@@28stretch I noticed the sarcasm, did he transgress when he was telling his colleagues that he has absolute faith in them deciding a case to the best of their abilities.
ANC voted to impeach the most successful public protector in defence of a president that keeps wards of foreign currency under his bed and sofas
@@28stretch How did Judge Hlophe transgress? Why was judge mogoeng not impeachment but was only sanctioned by the JSC?
