TABLE VIEW: VAGRANTS KEEP RETURNING TO TENT CITY DESPITE EVICTION

Tent City rebuilt again RICHARD ROBERTS @richardjohn_rj

F

or Ashwin Mentoor (32), Tent City has been a home for more than seven years. He moved here after gangsterism and poverty made life difficult for him in his home town of Atlantis. Tent City, located adjacent to the Potsdam Road taxi interchange in Table View, is safe and is a place where he can survive, says the unemployed father of 11 children. “It is comfortable here. Even after they evicted us earlier this year, I still stayed

here,” he says. More than 33 makeshift tents were removed from the open piece of land in February this year. The area was also cleared of vegetation. Despite Law Enforcement personnel regularly patrolling the area and monitoring the situation, homeless people still set up camp on the field, which is the property of the City of Cape Town’s Transport and Urban Development Authority (TDA). In February ward 113 councillor, Joy McCarthy, told TygerBurger that the area had become an eyesore, positioned as it is

at the entrance to Table View. “The vagrants who had taken up residence on this piece of TDA land left the usual mounds of litter visible from the road and hassled the riding school by stealing paddock fencing piles, water for cooking and ablution, as well as attacking the horses and riders,” she said shortly after the eviction by Law Enforcement and Anti-Land Invasion Unit personnel. In addition, the ever increasing levels of crime and drug dealing taking place also led to the eviction. The overgrown Port Jackson trees were also removed.

The open piece of land and the camp were last week once again the topic of discussion at the subcouncil 3 meeting held in Milnerton. Here McCarthy told her fellow councillors that she is trying to protect the land, but that this is something that does not come easy. She indicated that she had been sending email correspondence to the TDA and Brett Herron, but that nothing had been done to solve the problem. McCarthy suggested that a fence be erected around the area to keep vagrants out. V To page 2.
