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.
