Durban - DISCUSSIONS are under way to thwart attempts to invade a piece of land belonging to the Christian Revival Centre Church in Chatsworth.
Community activist Omi Nair said an attempted land invasion took place behind Marklands Secondary School and at Papaver Road over the weekend. No trespassing signs erected by the church on Wednesday were stolen yesterday.
Nair said the problem started because the residents were told that the church was not giving the eThekwini Municipality permission to erect a substation for electrification to a place called Bagdad informal settlement. The miscommunication caused unease in the informal settlement.
Anger in Chatsworth has reached fever pitch as the area has been without water for more than three days, with residents now resorting to hijacking water tankers supplying water to other nearby communities.
