The Shack Dwellers have hit the headlines because of their resistance
to forced evictions. When the government has wished to use land
occupied by shanty towns for commercial developments the residents in
the movement have refused to move, insisting on the right to a home and
to land.
Lindela insists: “Land has to be distributed according to
social need and not according to who has money. … Every land occupation
is a small step towards making this a country for all who live in it
and breaking the power of money over land.”
