Illegal Townships | Tshwane declares 17 settlements unlawful

The City of Tshwane says whilst acknowledging the complexity of illegal townships which started in the early 2000s, the era of looking the other way is over. Officials say a sub-mayoral committee has been established to address the issue collectively. They say seventeen developments have been identified as illegal townships, including luxury mansion projects. These include Leeuwfontein and Kleinfontein East of the city, as well as Moshate Gardens near Garankuwa. For more news, visit sabcnews.com and #SABCNews on all Social Media platforms.
