Cape Town mayor Dan Plato revealed this during a meeting with parliament's co-operative governance and traditional affairs committee on Friday evening. The meeting was called to discuss “law enforcement actions during evictions in Cape Town”.

But a preliminary investigation shows that Qholani was outside the facility as five other structures in the area were being removed in terms of an interim order.

Bosman also told the meeting that he has since been approached by the police, who informed him that Qholani has laid a charge against the city and that they were investigating the matter."The city may have its own investigations, but from the national side, the department of police is also doing an investigation which is led by deputy commissioner Mfazi working with the provincial commissioner," she said.

She revealed that she had spoken to Plato twice during the lockdown to address evictions in the city.
