Residents of Dunoon have warned that they will bring the community to a standstill yet again if the City of Cape Town ignores their request to meet over the lack of housing.
Dunoon is home to around 350,000, according to the acting ward councillor, meaning the community is significantly overpopulated with very few affordable housing options for people who live there.
This follows the recent demolition of several walls by the City of Cape Town in the area last week. For days, protesters from Ezihagwini informal settlement blocked the busy Potsdam Road and Malibongwe Drive over the demolitions .
We were told to wait seven days for an answer, and we are still waiting, says Asafika Qoboshiyana, a community leader. If we dont get a response, the protest will continue.
