Illegal landgrabbers vowed to start new informal settlement in Kimberley titled ‘SCANDAL’ and wants to erect around 150 shacks soon

Posted on Leave a comment

A group of Galeshewe residents have started marking sites for shanties to be erected on a piece of land on Twalu and Royal streets.“We inquired and we were told that the land belongs to the municipality and it forms part of the proposed by-pass road.”

IN YET another land invasion in Kimberley, community members of Ward 33 in Chris Hani Park started clearing an open piece of veld yesterday, where they vowed to start a new informal settlement, named “Scandal”.

Community members waited in vain on Monday to meet with the Sol Plaatje executive mayor, Patrick Mabilo.

The residents said they had a meeting with the mayor’s office in May this year regarding the large, open piece of land in the area, which they pointed out had become a notorious hot spot for crime.

“There are always robberies and murders going on there and even babies that are dumped.”

According to the residents they have been asking the Sol Plaatje Municipality for permission to ere

SACP / ANC wants to establish totalitarian communist state in SA

Posted on Leave a comment

As the reality of communism gets closer to our pockets and our physical world, the greater reality becomes the total onslaught made as a scare story by leftish and liberals.

Regarding the current land grab plans, I think readers and journalists should now begin to realize that the SACP / ANC struggle was never really about liberation, but about the gradual phasing in and establishment of a totalitarian communist state. It was not about non-racialism and democracy. It is merely the cover under which the real battle is fought. Once you understand the real motive, you will understand the whole context within which the ideological struggle is taking place in South Africa, communism vs capitalism, total control vs personal freedom.

Suddenly, the far-sightedness of the total assessment no longer became so far-fetched. After all, Ramaphosa made it clear during the negotiations between 1992 and 1994 that the ANC would not take everything in unison, bu

Traffic severely affected after “land grabs” row – Protesters have been throwing rocks at cars as violent protests escalate in the Lenasia area of Johannesburg, causing a traffic nightmare for commuters

Posted on Leave a comment

The situation has become volatile in the Lenasia South region of Ennerdale in Johannesburg, as protests have engulfed major routes through to the city. It has been reported that blockades made from debris and burning tyres have caused a serious traffic nightmare for commuters on Thursday morning.

Although we’re awaiting official verification, it seems that the protests are linked to a recent spate of land invasions in Lenasia. The acts of land occupation have split the community, who also have their grievances with service delivery in the area and a rising tide of criminal activity.

Johannesburg traffic latest news for Thursday 1 August:

The R558 through Lenasia South has been blocked off by protesters.

Burning tyres have also been spotted on the K43 and Old Lawley Road.

Travel through Lenasia, Lawley and Ennerdale has been severely affected. Although some roads have re-opened, the flow of traffic remains heavy.

Illegal land grabs take place in Durban after hundreds of people who are fed up with slow pace of housing delivery allocated plots themselves and start building shacks

Posted on Leave a comment

Fed up with the slow pace of housing delivery, hundreds of people have invaded vacant state land earmarked for a low-cost housing project in the Cato Crest informal settlement in Durban.

The residents descended on land in Mary Thipe Road, which boarders Mayville and Manor Gardens, on Monday and Tuesday and started clearing the bushes and allocating themselves plots to start building shacks.

While many residents were not willing to be interviewed or photographed, Happy Zwane told TimesLIVE that she was clearing the bush so that she could build her two children a home to leave them with when she dies.

“I have two children and I’m not married and I want to clear a plot for them so that when I die they would have a place to live. I don’t have a place of my own because I don’t own the place I live in. So I want to live my children with a home,” she said.

Others complained about being used as voting fodder by polit
