Victims of a fire who were moved from Joe Slovo informal settlement in Langa in Cape Town to temporary relocation sites in Delft in 2018 have appealed to be relocated to adequate accommodation.

Residents say they feel abandoned after they were sent to the temporary relocation area and have joined a list of other residents moved to TRA’s, such as Blikkiesdorp, more than ten years ago.

One of them Siphokazi Rgenqwa says, “We were told they will not build on the land we stayed in. They said they will level the ground. They asked us to move to Delft and that they will return to fetch us. We asked if we moved who they were going to build for on that land. They said they will build for us. We decided to move because we did not have anywhere to stay and we were begging people for food.

The City of Cape Town says it is faced with a housing crisis with more than 350 000 people on the waiting list. It says it will prioritise those who are high on the list.
