No more squatters allowed in District Six

The City of Cape Town says it will not allow any more families to build shacks in District Six. City police removed two families, who tried to move onto the land near the CBD over the weekend. They reportedly wanted to join the 35 families who were relocated there from a nearby settlement known as Beverley Hills. The city has repeatedly said that the move is temporary and that plans are already in place to build a shelter for them in Delft. The squatters will be moved early next month.
