Government officials preparing for electrification of an informal settlement in Johannesburg have found that more than half of the 4,000 people living there are undocumented foreigners.
This was found during a household verification operation led by City of Johannesburg member of the mayoral committee MMC for human settlements Mlungisi Mabaso, alongside law enforcement agencies.
Mabaso, with officials from the department of home affairs, the metro police and other government entities, conducted the verification as part of preparations for the electrification and upgrading of Kathrada Park informal settlement in Newclare, west of Johannesburg.
