Refugees at the Central Methodist Mission Church in Greenmarket Square, Cape Town were relocated to Maitland.The Patriotic Alliance says it is engaging a top law firm about possibly taking the City of Cape Town to court over the temporary refugee shelter in Maitland.During the Covid-19 pandemic, hundreds of refugees who occupied the Central Methodist Mission in Greenmarket Square were removed from the church and relocated to tents in Maitland and Paint City, Bellville.
In a statement over the weekend, the party said the"City's dismissive response to the urgent concerns raised by ward councillor Cheslyn Steenberg is a slap in the face to the residents of Kensington, and an insult to the mandate on which he was elected". "This blatant disregard for the welfare of Kensington's residents exemplifies the structural inequality that has become the hallmark of the DA's administration in Cape Town," it said.Last month, Steenberg wrote a letter to the City's municipal manager regarding the refugee tent site. In the letter, Steenberg requested that the tents be moved to a different location.
Botto said once the site was established, ongoing intergovernmental discussions resulted in an agreement that Home Affairs would initiate a repatriation and/or reintegration programme. During the Covid-19 pandemic, hundreds of refugees occupied the Central Methodist Mission Church in Greenmarket Square. The group was then forcibly removed from the church and relocated to tents in Maitland and Paint City, Bellville.
