Displaced flood victims have lost a court bid to get theThekwini municipality to provide them with alternative accommodation. They were evicted from their temporary accommodation and say they have nowhere else to go and will have to go on sleeping on the pavement. Flood victims in Durban say they have no choice but remain on the pavement with their belongings after the court dismissed their bid to get the eThekwini municipality to provide further emergency housing. Eleven members of the group then approached the Durban Magistrates Court with an urgent application for emergency accommodation. However, many flood victims told GroundUp that they should qualify and they cannot afford to rent their own places.
