Over 200 Soweto families served with eviction notices by the City of Johannesburg for unlawfully occupying RDP houses

SAfm — Over 200 Soweto families could spend this winter out in the cold after the City of Johannesburg served them with eviction notices for unlawfully occupying incomplete and vandalised RDP houses. The houses were turned into drug dens and hidding spots for criminals after a contractor abandoned the project allegedly due to contractual dispute with the city. Most of the occupants have refurbished the properties but the City of Johannesburg wants the families out of the houses.
