Against Du Noon residents' settlement relocation

It is imperative that the needs and aspirations of the people of Du Noon and other infornal settlements are met and dealt with the dignity and respect that all citizens of this country deserve. However, this is also true for the people of Kensington and Factreton, one of the oldest communties in Cape Town that for many years has been saddled with huge social problems such as poverty, unemployment, drug abuse and gangsterism to mention just a few. There are also countless families, who have been on the housing waiting list for decades due to the council not building any housing in the area for decades and that now have toresort to living in the backyards of others often in horrendous overxrowded and unhygienic conditions. It is the responsibilty of government, parastatals and business to take into account the constitutional rights of all those who are affected by their sweeping decisions. The people of Kensington and Factreton deserve to be heard.
