Over 100 houses have been illegally occupied in a stalled housing project in Nyanga, Cape Town. The housing project, at the corner of Govan Mbeki Road and New Eisleben Road, Erf 2849 Mau-Mau, was meant to deliver 443 units. It is part of the adjacent housing project in Gugulethu, which has seen only a handful of its 570 units completed and handed over to beneficiaries. Many of the houses were not yet connected to services, but people have connected to electricity and water illegally. Neighbouring residents say the vacant houses have become a hideout for criminals.
