The city had previously handed over one of the units to a longstanding tenant in terms of the Land Regularisation Programme.

The city of Joburg on Tuesday said it was moving ahead with efforts to reclaim hijacked properties after its Council passed a report to enable the city to reclaim local community shops in Riverlea, south of Johannesburg.

But it was found that the remaining shops were no longer in the hands of the original lessees and were in a serious state of disrepair, much to the community’s frustration. Knott and Council Speaker Vasco da Gama consulted with various stakeholders including business owners and residents in a bid to find solutions to enable communities to run businesses in a conducive environment.
