VIDEO: Cape's Al-Noor Orphanage served with eviction notice | Weekend Argus

Cape Town - Just nine days after 17 children were removed from a controversy-plagued Woodstock orphanage, the City of Cape Town has issued an eviction notice for the Melbourne Road property.

“Our lease is valid until 2022. This seems like a plot to get the land so it may be used for social housing,” he said. The department conducted a preliminary investigation into the situation at Al-Noor after being alerted by a child who had lived at the centre. At the time of the arrest, there were 35 children in the building for whom no records existed on the premises.The City of Cape Town confirmed the eviction notice, saying it had received information from the provincial Department of Social Development that the orphanage had been de-registered.
