Eviction Threats and Meter Crisis Rock Olievenhout Nkanhla Flats

Residents of Olievenhout Nkanhla Flats in South Africa are facing potential evictions, according to EFF MPL Remonde Abrahams. In a video posted online, Abrahams addresses a large group of residents, stating, "We fight for justice, we fight for rights." She claims that an ANC councillor allegedly threatened residents with evictions. The situation is further complicated by the lack of electricity meters, a problem Abrahams highlights as a critical service delivery issue. The video shows the residents' visible concern and frustration. The incident underscores ongoing challenges in South Africa concerning housing and basic service provision, particularly in government-subsidized housing developments. Efforts to reach the ANC councillor for comment were unsuccessful. The community continues to advocate for their rights and improved living conditions.
