Residents of Sherwood in Durban are concerned about land invasions in the area. A pile of trees and 32 sheets of corrugated iron were removed by the Durban metropolice from King Cetshwayo Highway, formerly known as Jan Smuts Highway.
Land invasion has become a source of concern for residents of Durban's Sydenham and Sherwood areas, with locals reporting that sheets of corrugated iron were removed from a vacant plot on Sunday.
Residents are concerned that these actions threaten the peace and tranquillity of their neighbourhoods.
Vacant pockets of land, which have become green spaces, have been under attack from land invaders for more than a year on Loon Road, Crouch Road, Candela Road, Locksley Drive, Piedmont Road, and, recently, a space known as the “nursery” along King Cetshwayo Highway, formerly known as Jan Smuts Highway.
Fearing invasion, residents plan to meet at the nursery on Saturday to devise an anti-invasion plan. They were concerned that this invasion could lead to more serious consequences for the Sherwood Community.
