In September 2002, residents of Kwa-Masisa Hostel in Sebokeng faced evictions by the so-called new and private owners. They resisted and won. But since then, the hostel has been abandoned to its fate. Today the struggle for secure tenure, decent conditions and control continues.

Forced evictions are a violation of human rights that requires urgent global attention. In 2008 between 30 and 50 million people in 70 countries worldwide lived under constant threat of being forcibly evicted (according to the International Alliance of Inhabitants).
Those that are most affected are working class people and peasants living in poverty. It’s always the poor who are evicted.

There are three issues that cause evictions in townships, which result in people being left hurt, miserable, heartbroken, humiliated and abused.
