Community members and stakeholders attended the Khayelitsha Development Forum’s 2026 conference at False Bay TVET College, where delegates discussed development, safety and economic inclusion.
The Khayelitsha Development Forum has called for a renewed and united approach to development in Khayelitsha, with a focus on unemployment, crime, service delivery, economic inclusion and stronger community participation.
The call came during the KDF’s 2026 conference, held at False Bay TVET College’s Khayelitsha campus on Saturday, June 6, where delegates adopted resolutions aimed at addressing some of the township’s most pressing developmental challenges.
The conference brought together community leaders, civic organisations, political formations, faith-based groups, youth structures, business stakeholders, government representatives, development practitioners and residents.
Masizole Mnqasela, speaking on behalf of the KDF Ad Hoc Committee, said the gathering was aimed at strengthening collaboration across sectors and reaffirming the forum’s role as a platform for development, accountability and social justice in Khayelitsha.
