The Gauteng Department of Human Settlements has demolished more than 200 illegal shacks. According to a report by Jacaranda FM, hundreds of residents were left homeless on Tuesday. The department’s spokesperson, Tahir Sema, said the demolition of the shacks came a year after the community launched a legal challenge to the province’s plan to remove them. They subsequently lost the application. Sema said following a protracted court battle that started in December 2022, the High Court granted the department an eviction order in January 2023. According to Sema, the community also used illegally connected electricity, water, and sewer systems.
