The transition camp was established in 2003. Families in the camp were temporarily accommodated from various areas, and the camp currently hosted 600 families. Some families were relocated due to construction of their houses and others due to unsafe living conditions in their informal settlements. The camp accommodated people only for an 18-month period, but some people had been there for over three years. There was no electricity installed at the camp. Ablution facilities were available and in good condition. The units were constructed from corrugated iron, which was very hot in summer and very cold in winter. An amount of R7.5 million was set aside for cleaning of ablution facilities and cutting of grass.
