Summary
In Cosmo City, Johannesburg, ActionSA’s inspection of allegedly hijacked RDP homes has sparked a tense standoff — a Zimbabwean woman barricaded inside a double-storey property, claiming it as her home while the deceased owner’s family fights to reclaim it. With municipal debt soaring past 80,000 rand and legal battles stalled, siblings struggle to survive without inheritance. One resident recounts a decades-long battle where a police officer allegedly seized her brother’s home, leaving her son destitute — a fraud case opened in 2020 still yields no justice. ActionSA, led by Herman Mashaba, frames this as a national crisis, accusing police of enabling foreign takeovers and vowing to deport undocumented occupants if elected mayor — all in the name of restoring dignity for South Africans.
