VANDERBIJLPARK.- Residents from all over the Vaal with repossessed houses marched to Emfuleni Local Municipality (ELM) offices demanding their individual housing subsidy clearance on Wednesday.

Marchers demonstrated their anger by stripping whilest they were waiting for officials who were coming to address them.

The marche was led by Ndade Mxunya and other community m who told Sedibeng Ster that they were patiently waiting for their clearance certificates for all houses that are transferred by Individual Government Subsidy.

The angry mob found Mafoko Security Guardson the scene whilest the traffic department were maintained law and order. They walked through them like giant elephants versess wild dogs. All gates were locked but that could not discourage the angry mob of elders who crashed down the gates and entered the municipality premises.

All they wanted were the clearance certificates nothing else. “We are not here to listen to lies, but we want our clearance certificates,” said the angry mob.

MMC of Housing Clr Jan Moshoadiba tried to calm the situation down but the angry community said they wanted nothing but clearance certificates. Clr Moshoadiba told the masses that they could not dish out the clearance since there are unresolved issues that need to be mandated to the council sitting.
