The South African Communist Party in the Western Cape has welcomed the long overdue intervention by the Minister of Transport and Human Settlement in the Lwandle eviction matter.

SACP Provincial Spokesperson Masonwabe Sokoyi said the City of Cape Town needs to immediately assist the victims with building materials that were damaged during the eviction. 

Sokoyi said back in 2009 and last year the SACP wrote letters to the National Department of Housing, Transport and Road Development for their intervention to ensure that those people evicted are given proper accommodation.

“However we could not get any assistance because we got resistance from the City of Cape Town to not buy the land” Sokoyi added.
