The time has come for some 1 000 displaced people will be moved out of 11 community halls across Cape Town on Thursday, this includes those displaced from Soetwater and Silwerstroom camps.
They can return to their communities or be relocated to Blue Waters or Harmony Park. Youngsfield refugee camp will remain open but will not receive additional people.
The City of Cape Towns Pieter Cronje says that, “of the initial estimated 20 000 people displaced after incidents of xenophobic violence earlier this year, just more than 3 300 remain.”
He says, Provincial Government and the City of Cape Town senior officials as a joint task team, will today explain the process of moving the displaced people and bringing to a conclusion the declared Provincial disaster at a media briefing held at Cape Town Civic centre.
