The delegation visited the area where 1 600 shacks were built close to the dam. The residents of the informal settlement were refusing to move to a safer area and claimed that they would be far from schools and their places of work. Some shacks were built at the edge of the road close to the dam (flooded area). The area is life threatening to communities. The houses that were built for the communities of Beachfront were completed and ready for occupation. The municipality feared that the houses would be vandalised and be the crime zone as houses stood empty for some time.
