Prasa takes steps to evict squatters from three railway lines

, Prasa is appointing a legal team to handle the evictions, and is also finalising a tender for fences and walls along three key commuter lines.

‘Concrete palisade, steel mesh or palisade – none of those will work on the central line. What we think is going to work is the wall that we piloted in Nyanga.’ The fencing tender includes portions of Prasa’s southern line in sub-council 20 and under the M5/Prince George Drive Bridge, located between Ottery and Southfield railway stations.Carmen Siebritz, Ward 63 councillor, says the fencing requirements extend past the bridge. ‘We have more fencing now that is also missing along the railway from Ottery station all the way down to Southfield station.

A legal team, which will be appointed in the next two weeks, will apply to the Western Cape High Court for eviction notices to be served to squatters occupying Prasa land across the province, says Neil Engelbrecht, assistant manager of real estate asset management at Prasa.
