Mayco member for Human Settlements, Malusi Booi, said the City had no budget allocated to potential new unplanned settlements formed through illegal occupation. CapeTimesSA

So said community activist and leader Loyiso Nkohla, in response to a joint statement released by Human Settlements MEC Tertius Simmers, Safety MEC Albert Fritz, and Local Government MEC Anton Bredell - calling on SAPS, the SANDF and law enforcement agencies to arrest those who are leading land grabs in the province.

“They are contradicting themselves now because that is not what they agreed on when they met with the Minister of Human Settlements, Lindiwe Sisulu, on the land invasion issues in the province. "Now the matter is escalating and they blame people for their faults. If they want a war, we are ready - we are forever ready for them,” said Nkohla.

Simmers said: “It has become clear that those who are complicit and involved in these illegal events only have criminal intentions. This past weekend’s illegal invasion, and subsequent damage caused at the Kraaifontein racing track, is an example of this.
