Rogue officials in eThekwini municipality are illegally evicting poor people from their council flats in Orient Hill, Isipingo. Their motivation seems to be to "sell" these units to other people. Last week, a 77 year old granny was locked out of her flat. This was her reward for dutifully paying rent every month for the past 38 years. Her neighbours were terrorised by 40 security guards sent by the council. When the community tried to object, they were shot at.

Add your name to this petition to get the eThekwini municipality to stop their rogue officials. The tenants of the council flats were legally and rightly entitled to ownership decades ago. Lend your support to get the flats transferred to the poor residents - this is their only protection from greedy council officials.
