DAâs call to end lockdown over eviction rule is reckless and racist, says EFF

Cape Town - The DA has been criticised for their ârecklessâ and âirresponsibleâ call for the lifting of level 1 lockdown, with the EFF saying it was racist, anti-poor and in the interest of the white minority.
Spokesperson for the DA on Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs Cilliers Brink on Tuesday said the party was calling for regulations to be lifted, saying it âmade it close to impossible for property owners to obtain eviction ordersâ.
âWhile restrictions on the movement of people have long ago been lifted, the corresponding rights of property owners have not been restored. To protect their land and buildings against illegal occupation property owners have to overcome extraordinary legal hurdles, creating an open season for land grabs,â he said.
