Woodlands protest
Mitchells Plain land invaders to appear in court next week
Councillor Joan Woodman says that protests broke out after law enforcement officials removed structures that were erected in Woodlands.
Earlier this week, residents took to the streets, demanding housing in Woodlands.
The city's Assets and Facilities Management mobile unit will assist residents with registering and updating their details on the city's housing database.
On Monday, residents took to the streets demanding land and housing. The violence erupted after authorities removed 20 illegally erected structures.
Several shops were looted, and roads barricaded in after authorities removed 20 illegally erected structures in the area on Monday night.
Over the first four months or so of this year there have been 145 protests across Cape Town.
Land grabs often accompany the chaos and have also spiked. The municipality's anti-land invasion unit is being stretched thin.
The City of Cape Town says it will not tolerate land invasions in the city and will act against those who incite violence.
