    Whilst some of humanity’s better traits have been on show during our national lockdown, we’ve fallen woefully short in other areas.

    Concerned citizens taking upon themselves to feed the homeless, or look after those less fortunate than themselves – you love to see it.

    One of those citizens seeing his car go up in flames in Sea Point, with allegations of arson after a series of nasty Facebook showdowns, less so.

    More recently, there was the video showing Bulelani Qholani wrestling with law enforcement officers in Khayelitsha, with Cape Town’s mayor, Dan Plato, claiming Qholani staged the fight to paint the city in a bad light.

    What we know for certain is that there are millions and millions of South Africans without a place to call home, and millions more living in informal structures in communities without even the most basic of services.

    With a lockdown moratorium having been placed on the demolition of these structures, as well as any evictions from occupied homes, criminal syndicates are now taking advantage and selling land that they don’t hold the deeds to.

    In Gauteng, the more desperate, unable to wait amidst a massive housing backlog in the province, are being duped into buying this land, with Carte Blanche reporting on “a spree of so-called land invasions that have sparked tension between landowners and newcomers desperate for shelter”.
