Gauteng Community MEC Faith Mazibuko accompanied law enforcement officers and soldiers as they destroyed shacks that had been illegally erected in Elandsfontein.
Midvaal Mayor Bongani Baloyi said some threatened land owners with violence as they forcefully erected stands on their plots.“Land grabbing here is at an alarming rate. There is a syndicate that is taking people’s money and playing with vulnerable people needing houses. “They are doing as they wish. There is a syndicate that is collecting money from people to occupy land. As government, we must utilise this land for people to benefit financially and through jobs,” said Mazibuko.“We want our grandparents’ land back. We are taking back our land from whites. We are unemployed and can’t afford to pay rent. People don’t have money and want land to stay [on].
