Due to the high prevalence of land invasions in Lenasia extension 13 and Lenasia South extension 4, the department took a decision to demolish unoccupied and incomplete structures in the latter part of 2012 following a court order granted in September 2010. As the demolition of the properties gained a lot of media attention, the provincial committee and the Minister of Human Settlements visited the area to see the demolished structures and engage with the communities.
