Reality Village in Tafelsig, Mitchells Plain, which has been partially earmarked by the City of Cape Town for a cemetery, has residents of the informal settlement refusing to move, with the case set to appear in the Cape Town High Court on 30 May 2024.

, 64 families are reported to live on the property, as well as wanting ‘basic services and adequate housing’.The land is currently earmarked by the City, as burial spaces are becoming less, with the demand for burial space being ‘approximately one thousand per month’ in Cape Town, excluding those who are buried in private cemeteries, according to Luthando Tyhalibongo, the City’s media manager.

‘However, many ‘private’ graves have the opportunity to be used for a second interment, on top of the previous burial,’ he added. The occupants that are currently living on the earmarked land are being supported by Ashraf Cassiem of the Anti-Eviction Campaign and the Mitchells Plain Aboriginal Khoisan Council.
