Several residents of extension 11 in Ngcobo in the Eastern Cape are up in arms amid accusations that the Dr AB Xuma Local Municipality has allegedly deregistered nearly 800 approved housing beneficiaries.
The residents allege that the municipality is working with the Human Settlements Department to hatch up false claims which indicate that the beneficiaries are untraceable.
Some of the residents claim they have been waiting for RDP houses for close to two decades.
Those deregistered include residents Nobuntu Vuza and Mncedisi Krele who now demand to be reinstated.
We applied for RDP houses in 2009. Weve been waiting since then. We have now found out that we have been deregistered and we dont know how, Vuza says.
