Civil rights group Reclaim the City has called on a private developer to meet with the families they are planning to evict from their homes in Woodstock.

The Woodstock Hub purchased the homes in Bromwell Street in 2013 and now wants to build a parking lot. But residents are up in arms and have refused to move.

The group’s Emile Engel says they’re calling on directors of the Woodstock Hub to come and meet these families which they’ve not done.


He has also called on the City of Cape Town to intervene.
