Over 50 people in Cornwall Street in Woodstock are under threat of evictions.
The Western Cape Anti-Eviction said the owner of flats in the street, and the City of Cape Town would like to demolish the buildings to build luxury flats in time for the 2010 World Cup.
Anti-Eviction Campaign, co-ordinator Willy Heyn said those resideing in the flats received an eviction order from the court, stating that they should vacate the premises on or before the 24th of this month.
“They just informed me on Saturday about the situation so it’s a little bit new for me.”
In response to the above statement, the City of Cape Town’s Charles Cooper said the City is not involved and are unaware of the situation.
