Summary
City of Cape Town officials dismantled dwellings at the Gate 7 informal settlement located in Maitland. Individuals began occupying the site, which is under the jurisdiction of the Department of Public Works and Infrastructure, during July as a means to avoid elevated rental costs and criminal activity elsewhere. Among the people whose residences were removed were Lennox Shumani and Naeema Makarani-Hamid. Makarani-Hamid stated she was worried about the impact on her children, who are enrolled in schools in the Kensington area.
