[@truesouth6532]

@@marleneclough3173 it wasn't the DA that was doing it, it was Herman Mashaba and that's part of the reason he left the DA. The DA failed the citizens of johannesburg even when they were begging this to be done, they were too concerned about not being labeled xenophobic than serving those that put them into power, matter of fact they're the ones who were pushing the xenophobia rhetoric.

[@marleneclough3173]

@truesouth6532 he was DA Mayor when he did it but that is irrelevant. The point is that what Kunene is now being praised fir doing was done before by Herman Mashaba and he was criticized for it! The exact same thing! Also Kunene is today calling Jacob Zuma the greatest leader this country has had! The one who led State Capture and led to the loadshedding we now have and the demise of the SOE

Nothing will change unless you give building owners the right to take their buildings back and evict non payers without having to go to court or pay thousands or even millions to do it. The law protects squatters making the government's job of finding housing for the poor, the building owner's problem. It must change or these issues of illegal occupation will never be resolved.

[@leafrika6520]

The city put out a request to owners to say that the buildings are hijacked, this was done 10years back and continues till today. Owners don't respond, some have given up, some are problematic individuals as well
