Question NW16 to the Minister of Human Settlements:
01 March 2019 - NW16
Hlonyana, Ms NKF to ask the Minister of Human Settlements:
What is the basis on which the residents of Steenvilla Housing Project in Steenberg, Cape Town, are being evicted?
Reply:
The reason for the evictions at Steenvilla is that there is an order of court to this effect following non-payment of rentals by residents, which is a breach of the lease agreement.
In October 2016, SOHCO applied to court for an eviction order for 22 households. The High Court granted the eviction order at the end of March 2017.
