I'd like to go back a bit.  In the beginning when one person put up say three shacks in an area, there were three families occupying those shacks.  And later on there were a growth in number in these families.  So that the TPA came and demolished two of the shacks, saying that it was an illegal occupation of land.  After the demolishing of these shacks, we as leaders of the ANC took it upon ourselves to negotiate with TPA seeing that the civic was casting them to the side, not assisting in any way, considering that they had suffered a loss of property when these shacks were demolished.  That is when we were able, as a committee of the ANC, to say to the TPA that there are many other people who are in danger, they had to be removed from that area.  That is when we started having this authority to develop the area further.  Thank you.
