A temporary housing site the City of Cape Town offered a family whose illegal structure was demolished in Hangberg in Hout Bay was considered inhumane by SAHRC. TheCapeArgus

Cape Town - A temporary housing site the City offered a family whose illegal structure was demolished in Hangberg in Hout Bay was considered inhumane following an inspection by the SA Human Rights Commission on Tuesday.

SAHRC commissioner Chris Nissen said: “There are portable toilets surrounding the structures that are below people’s dignity. It is also concerning that this site has already been earmarked for other people.” Smith said they understood that this was a win for the family from a legal standpoint, however for the family to stay there was a very different case. People went to live there because they didn’t have a choice, but they still refused to accept what the City deemed humane and temporary.
