Petition to Stop Incitement to Invade Land, and the Hijacking of Buildings and Homes

Statement by Luyolo Mphithi MP – DA Spokesperson on Human Settlements:

Across South Africa, criminals who profit from illegal land invasions and hijacked buildings, are coercing and exploiting vulnerable people to participate in their illegal actions. Once people, who are desperate for homes, are inside hijacked buildings or on invaded land, the criminals force them to “rent” or “buy” at extortionist rates to continue living there.

The DA’s Bill targets those who organise and profit from land invasions and building hijackings, while protecting homeless South Africans from criminalisation and safeguarding their dignity and rights.

South Africa’s housing crisis, driven by more than 30 years of past government failure, has left over 10 million people in need of affordable housing.

The DA is pushing practical solutions to expand housing supply and restore the rule of law.

South Africans are urged to support a fair and lawful approach by signing the petition: https://petitions.da.org.za/p/stoplandinvasions

  1. Fun South African Fact: Vilakazi Street in Soweto has been home to two Nobel Peace Prize winners. A tour through Soweto will always stop at Vilakazi Street to reveal a number of heritage sites of great importance to democratic South Africa. Both Nelson Mandela and Archbishop Desmond Tutu lived here at some point in their lives. In 1984, Archbishop Desmond Tutu received the Nobel Peace Prize in recognition for his non-violent fight against the apartheid regime. Nine years later in 1993, Nelson Mandela shared the Nobel Peace Prize with then-president F.W. de Klerk as an award for their role in bringing about the peaceful end of apartheid. Nelson Mandela then went on to become South Africa’s first democratically elected president in 1994.

  2. This is probably off-topic, BUT here goes: I see that MyZA operates a number of \’sections\’ dealing with News, Directory, Events and a Marketplace and I was wondering just how https://MyZA.co.za manages to keep the content fresh and growing? Do you have an army of employees?
