I drove to Cape Town a few days ago to attend to the matter.
Yesterday, we received a court ruling on the matter – the court ruled in favour of 49 of the evicted families. https://t.co/LlAnpv4FnU

“It has also come to our attention that some of our community members are invading land parcels during this time. These actions are de-focussing our attention from saving our nation from the COVID-19 pandemic. We call upon NGOs and community leaders to expose opportunists who seek to take advantage of our vulnerable community members who are in dire need of decent shelter over their heads,” says Sisulu.
