She says eThekwini's Land Invasion Unit was sent to the site.
"Some of them elected to move and some actually said they will do to the shelter. So they were taken to the Durban Central Shelter.
"We are planning to do regular operations there where we go in and make sure that people aren't invading illegally," says De Boer.
