Cape Town
Nearly a week after about 850 Nomzamo residents were made homeless when their shacks were destroyed to make way for a Sanral development, the government is still trying to identify a suitable piece of land for their resettlement.
While the City of Cape Town and Sanral have spent much of the week bickering over who was to blame for the callous circumstances of the eviction, hundreds of the newly homeless have found shelter in the Nomzamo Community Hall. Others have been housed by friends and family.
Human Settlements minister Lindiwe Sisulu, meanwhile, has announced a ministerial inquiry headed by Advocate Denzil Potgieter to get to the truth of the evictions.
