Close to 500 residents from the N2 Gateway Tenants Committee, are expected to march to the gates of Parliament on Tuesday.
The resident of the N2 Gateway flats in Langa are protesting against the high rents for their substandard, new flats.
Other problems experienced by the tenants are: huge cracks in the walls, leaking roofs.
“One top of this, the flats are tiny and the rent is extremely high for a rotten potato,” says Chairperson of the Tenants Committee, Luthando Ndabambi.
“The committee submitted CDs of photos to the Rental Housing Tribunal and the MEC but to no avail,” says Ndabambi.
The committee has also vowed to support the remaining residents of Joe Slovo informal settlement in Langa, who face forced removal next month.
Bush Radio tried to get hold of spokesperson for the MEC; Vusi Tshose he was unavailable for comment.
