ICYMI | Government is embarking on extraordinary mass removals of people from highly congested informal settlements in an attempt to curb the rapid spread of the coronavirus outbreak.

Sisulu added:"The other reason we have to de-densify is because should there be a further spread of the virus in our informal settlements, an ambulance can't go there, a car can't go there. How do you take anybody to hospital?

Sisulu said the government had identified land in the four provinces where people removed from informal settlements would be moved to. Even though she couldn't give timelines, Sisulu said the relocations were considered urgent.Sisulu said they ideally would want to complete the task within the 21-day national lockdown period but were weary of committing to the timeline.
