Residents of the iSiphingo transit camps are currently engaged in a road blockade. Recently these camps were flooded again after the rains. It is averred that the residents have diseases like TB and asthma due to the living conditions.
In a statement the Abahlali baseMjondolo said; “In September the MEC promised, in public, that they would be moved to Cornubia. Yet they are still in the transit camp and have heard nothing more about the MEC’s promise.”
“This is a protest at broken promises and it is a protest at living conditions that no human being can accept,” Abahlali baseMjondolo concluded.
