KINROSS RESIDENTS INVADE LAND

The residents of Kinross are currently invading land at Ext 30 (Ward 17, Kinross Town)
It is hundreds of people going in there to secure their stands, while the police are trying to prevent further invasion.

According to Kinross police, GMM law enforcement will meet with the community tomorrow, but residents said the meeting will take place while they are securing their land.

One of the residents said he received a message from the Department of Human Settlement, meaning he is a beneficiary of that land.

The police tried to get the ward councillor Rose Nkabinde to intervene, but she could not make it due to her being sick.

The GMM Executive Mayor is also said to be attending a conference.
