The settlements have 135 stands and 688 family shacks or households. The area was densified and later subdivided. There were about four to five families on one plot with one toilet. The electricity box was installed by Eskom in one of the shacks and if the owner was not there, the rest of the families would struggle to gain access to electricity. The residents were informed that during the relocation, only one would be left as the owner. The community was questioning such a decision as the municipality was unable to identify the legitimate owner in that situation. There was no storm-water drainage and no accessible roads. Street lights were installed but they were not functioning. Various cases were reported of some children who were eaten to death by rats and others who were in a critical condition due to injuries sustained. As a result of the overpopulation of the settlement some people were moved to Bagdad.
