DURBAN - MORE than 100 people living in informal dwellings next to the Dalton taxi rank just outside the CBD have been left stranded after their homes were destroyed by eThekwini Municipality and Metro police during a clean-up operation last week.
The Dalton Beer Hall area, opposite the hostel, is where about 300 people live in poor conditions - half in the abandoned beer hall and half outside.
Raymond Perrier, director of the Denis Hurley Centre (DHC), said: “The residents were given no warning and once again, they have lost everything.”
