One family has been evicted from an invaded Rdp house

Police have evicted families in eMbalenhle that illegally invaded unoccupied RDP houses in Ext 22.

The RDP house invasions were led by Mr John Mahlangu, local Economic Freedom Fighters leader.

A family, including a disabled child, was arrested on Thursday, 31 August and was later released on a warning.

Ms Mthethwa said it is unfortunate that her family was arrested for taking a government house which is not used.

She said she was put in the RDP house by the EFF after they had seen how she was struggling and living with her children and grandchildren in a one-room shack.

She has been applying for an RDP house for the past eight years, but without any luck.
