Housing meeting ends in a heated debate

Lusanda Bill
21 October 2011


A meeting on Thursday about Hangberg, Hout Bay housing saga had to be cancelled.

The meeting was cancelled due heated arguments amongst those present.

Peace and Mediation Forum called the meeting on Thursday.

Last year September violence erupted between metro police and Hangberg residents over shacks that were demolished, by the city.

The city stated that the shacks had to be demolished because they were built on a firebreak on the Sentinel.

Forum member Helen Abrahams said it was necessary to have the meeting to reassure people and to clarify some of the issues in the accord.
