Over 300 Limpopo families homes were demolished because they allegedly refused to pay rent to the landowner to help with the upkeep of the land and to regularise their stay.
Some of the residents were at work when they were called by neighbours and relatives about the demolitions and rushed home in the rain to find excavators busy tearing their houses down.
Aggrieved resident Leholohonolo Kubajane lamented what happened.
