B543E
This matter vests in the Administrator of Natal. Since I also received correspondence in this regard this information was compiled in consultation with him:
- (1) No, not by the Government. The landowner however intends removing the people from the land on the strength of a court order obtained previously.
- (2) Yes.
- (a) I received three letters, one dated 20 March 1988 from a Mr Mthembu, Secretary: Luganda Residents Association and two from the Honourable Member dated 19 April 1988 and 8 November 1988, whilst the Deputy Minister of Constitutional Developzment and Planning received one letter dated 1 February 1989 from the Honourable Member. The Office of the Provincial Secretary: Natal also received two letters from the Honourable Member, one dated 27 December 1988 and the other dated 1 February 1989.
- (b)
- (i) The replies to all the correspondence have been sent to the Honourable Member—he is therefore already aware of the nature of the replies.
- (ii) The Deputy Minister of Constitutional Development and Planning replied on my behalf to Mr Mthembu on 22 August 1988 and to the Honourable Member on 19 December 1988. A copy of the letter to Mr Mthembu was sent to the Honourable Member. The Administrator of Natal on 17 March 1989 replied to the Honourable Member’s letter of 1 February 1989.
The Provincial Secretary’s office on 17 January 1989 replied to the Honourable Member’s letter of 27 December 1988 whilst the letter of 1 February 1989 to the Provincial Secretary’s office was merely one of information.
- (3) Yes, land has been indentified to which the persons facing eviction and who approach the Natal Provincial Government could move with a view to obtaining permanent residence. The Natal Provincial Government however will not involve itself in the removal of the people from Lot 6533, Pinetown.
asked the Minister of Constitutional Development and Planning:
