CPOA: It is not a forced removal, families and residents understand the situation

The closure of three old aged homes on the cape flats have resulted in residents and various organisations in Bonteheuwel, Bishop Lavis and Heideveld embarking on protest action calling for the immediate recall of the forced removal of the residents. Now as many of you may recall, last year, the Cape Peninsula Organisation for the Aged, indicated that Nerina Place, Lilyhaven Place and Oakhaven would be closed due to financial pressure cause by the covid 19 pandemic, coupled with a loss of income as pensioners awaited the pandemic’s outcome.
