DA believes WCape land invasions, protests 'part of a larger strategy' by ANC
5 July 2018
The Democratic Alliance believes that protests and almost 300 land invasions across the Western Cape this year are part of a "larger strategy" by the ruling party to make the province ungovernable.
The ANC, however, says there is no way they can manufacture residents' legitimate struggles.
DA chief whip in the provincial legislature Mark Wiley revealed on Wednesday that there had been at least 176 land invasions in the City of Cape Town and 87 land invasions across the rest of the province since January.
The party acknowledged that residents had genuine concerns around housing and service delivery.
