HUNDREDS of protesters from informal settlements took to the streets of Cape Town yesterday to register their dissatisfaction with plans to remove them to other areas.
Residents of the Joe Slovo squatter camp especially, said they were angry at plans to move them to Delft.

Residents marched on the offices of the housing company, Thubelisa Homes, as well as the office of First National Bank bearing placards reading “Banks profits millions from forced removals” and “No privatisation of private land”.
