Michelle Korte
More than 100 shacks in Cato Crest’s Marikana Land Occupation and Lamontville’s Madlala Village were destroyed by the eThekwini municipality over the weekend, leaving about 300 people homeless, according to Abahlali.
Residents have begun the familiar process of rebuilding their homes.
The demolitions took place in spite of a 6 June Constitutional Court order.
The municipality’s Land Invasion Control Unit began the evictions on 21 June, demolishing 18 shacks in Cato Crest. On Sunday morning, 22 June, the unit arrived armed and without court orders, according to Abahlali president S’bu Zikode.
