According to Statistics SA, there are as many as 146 000 households in 437 informal settlement pockets in Cape Town. As of on Friday, the province had 8083 active cases of Covid-19, with a total of 18350 confirmed cases and 9830 recoveries. But plans to have scores of residents moved from Dunoon were yet to be put to action.
“As you are now aware, the Dunoon informal settlement is now a confirmed Covid-19 hot spot,” Adriaanse said red tape was holding back decongestion plans. “These include rezoning and town planning applications. These are processes which you cannot short-circuit and we have to follow all the statutory processes,” he said.
Early last month, spokesperson for the National Department of Human Settlements McIntosh Polela said a plan to temporarily remove thousands of informal settlement dwellers from their homes was at an advanced stage but the initiative required a sensitive approach which included consultations.
