Words: Mary-Anne Gontsana / GroundUpFamilies who were occupying a community hall in Gugulethu have finally been relocated by the City of Cape Town, ending a nearly eight-year battle for housing.
Then, after heavy rains in June 2018, the group abandoned the site and moved into the Luyolo Community Centre in NY126.
The last 30 people were moved by the City of Cape Town over the weekend from the community hall to a temporary relocation area (TRA) in Mfuleni.
Mayco member for human settlements Carl Pophaim confirmed that the eight families had been moved to the Bosasa Link temporary relocation area.
‘The City is verifying the status of the families on the Housing Needs Register to determine which housing projects can accommodate them.
