District Six Evictions Spark Outrage as Families Ordered Out

Fresh eviction notices issued in Cape Town’s historic District Six have triggered widespread anger and renewed trauma among displaced families. Affected residents say they were promised restoration under the post-apartheid land restitution programme, only to now face eviction orders instead. Community leaders and activists argue that the move betrays decades-long commitments to justice, dignity, and redress for families forcibly removed during apartheid. Protests and legal challenges are expected as pressure mounts on authorities to halt the evictions and honour restitution promises.
