Feel truly sad that there are homeless people out there. Makes me feel so much more appreciation for my humble home and a comfortable bed. The weather can be very cruel.

But where are they originally from? Those places aren't environments for building informal homes. Infrastructure is important. They should never have built there. Sorry not sorry. You can't make poor choices and then expect others to help you when it inevitably fails. People have been warning about these informal settlements for decades and every year it's the same thing. Insanity. Literally.

Saying that these people don't learn or sorry not sorry is wild and ridiculous. It's like saying to a starving person sorry not sorry you got a stomach bug cause you ate from a bin. Those people are not happily just living in those areas, they're desperate. Show a little remorse or give them solutions.

These people are living a legacy of your forefathers' cruelty from which you benefit. I'm sure if you weren't privileged you'd be swimming as well in sewerage especially with your ignorance.

I just want to know what must DA do exactly? If they move them, more people will go and build there after that, so they have to move them again? Until when? They did tell them not to build there. The Cape peninsula is running out of land for development, unless they are lying to us, but go read about it.

I'm from close by, most of the people living in this area are foreigners. They had electricity during load shedding due to illegal connection. Even though they are foreigners coming here was the only option to survive. I feel bad that they have to go through this bad situation. I pray every government takes care of its citizens so they don't have to move to a foreign country and build shacks in waterlogged areas. Shame on the government of these foreigners.

These people have it tough, but this is often the nature of informal settlement. No planning. People put a shack up, without clearance, in places where otherwise nothing would be built. No surveyors. No stormwater drains. No electricity. No running water. No roads even. Somebody carried bits of building material, and built a shack in a field, without any consultation, and then claimed squatting rights. At least half the informal settlements around Cape Town sprung up exactly in low lying areas that were considered too flood prone. And which with global warming will eventually even in parts be underwater, but unlivable long before that. It can be no other way. Who thought it was a great idea to build rickety shacks, building codes be damned, on flood plains? Who was so clever?
