Residents from Samora Machel are setting up dwellings on the corner of Vanguard Drive and Highlands Drive in Mitchell's Plain.

Bush Radio’s Mluleki Mrwebi spoke to residents who work in poultry farms in the area.

He said that some residents confirmed that they were chased away from the farms which they worked at.

That was the reasoning behind setting up dwellings on the piece of land.

Mrwebi spoke to a local committee’s resident leader and he said police were at the scene this morning but they did not evict them.

He added that the police just took pictures of them and told them that they are not involved in the issue.
