Residents to be allocated to vacant Umlazi RDP homes
The eThekwini housing unit will be compiling a report which it will hand over to Mayor Zandile Gumede on vacant RDP flats in uMlazi's T section.
The head of the unit visited the township with Gumede yesterday.
The flats which have now been vandalized have been vacant for over six years now.
Residents say once the flats were completed and they were to move in, they began seeing people that are not from that community moving in and they were stopped from doing so.

They say essentially the issue is with the list of names of those who are meant to be living in the flats.
Gumede says the report will be handed over to her as well as provincial government.
"We will make sure we tackle that issue - people are then going to be accommodated in those flats. They were built to make sure people are staying there," she said.
