Gugulethu farmer evicted over dispute with development forum
Share
Cape Town - A Gugulethu community farmer has accused the Gugulethu Development Forum (GDF) of harassing and victimising her, disrupting her food distribution efforts.
Nomonde Kweza said the forum had colluded with the Ikhaya Loxolo Old Age Home board to evict her from the food garden she started in 2007, currently in the old age home, over differences in decisions taken by the forum.
She said three other farmers had stopped farming out of frustration, and the GDF was directly targeting her.
Kweza said this started last year during the handing over of the home from a previous service provider where the GDF saw an opportunity to position itself as board members.

Cape Town - There was shock and horror when a video circulated, showing how bystanders in Gugulethu would not assist security guards of a cash van, who were shot and robbed, and instead further robbed the van and took the guns of the injured guards, one of whom who died on the scene.
Gugulethu ward councillor Sharon Manata said what happened was very bad, especially when the community ignored a âdying manâ for the sake of money.
Manata said soon after she heard about the incident, she visited the area, and saw children watching the painful and unbearable scene.
