The parking area at Stegman Road and surrounding areas has been cleared by the city after it received a court order to evict the illegal occupants living there.
Illegal structures that encroached upon a vital parking area in Claremont have been removed by the City of Cape Town following a court-ordered eviction process.
The operation involved various enforcement agencies, including the City’s Law Enforcement, Metro Police, Traffic Services, and police supported by other municipal departments, last week.
For the past eight years, the parking area behind the Al-Jaamia Mosque on Stegman Road, Claremont, has become home to the large homeless encampment.
Illegal, informal structures and tents had been erected against the mosque fencing and along the fencing near the Claremont railway station.
