Is there any truth to this allegation?

Dear Residents,

This email just received from the City of Cape Town regarding the Removal / Destruction of shelters built by Homeless Persons.

It has come to my attention that some SRAs are taking the law into their own hands in the manner that homeless people and other socially challenged individuals are being treated. Some of the allegations are that the SRA security officers beat up these people (I have already interacted with the relevant SRA Board) whilst in another case the structures are being removed by the SRA with the assistance of law enforcement personnel under cover of night. Such actions are illegal and must cease forthwith lest the City launch an investigation and take those SRAs to task as they are violating the individual’s Constitutional rights and are also guilty of illegal actions.

I remind you all that the Anti Land Invasion Unit should be contacted to deal with such matters as communicated at the SRA Forum meeting (and confirmed in the minutes) held on 29 January 2014. For ease of reference please note the contact details below:
