City Mayor Patricia De Lille said the process of restitution should be carried out with more urgency.
The Act left many non-white South Africans displaced from land which they used to own.
Mayor De Lille’s spokesperson Solly Malatsi said the Mayor wanted to see a speedy resolution of land restitution claims.
“Those who were unfairly and unlawfully removed from their places of origin and birth can return to them because the process has taken longer periods.
“It has been frustrating for the beneficiaries and the families who were removed from their places of origin by the apartheid regime” Malatsi added.
Meanwhile the Western Cape High Court has granted the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform an interim court order to evict a group of illegal occupants at the District Six.
Departmental head of communications Vuyani Nkasayi said the group forcefully moved in 15 houses illegally on Saturday.
Nkasayi said the people had refused to move out so they then approached the courts for advice.
“That notice is running up to this morning, if they have not moved out the sheriff will sevre the notice and the police will remove them” Nkasayi added.
