Cape Town - A 72-year-old widow who is a validated District Six Redevelopment Trust claimant is facing a bleak festive season without a home, while waiting for the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform to finish processing her claim for a house in phase 3 of the redevelopment project.
Catherine de Jongh, who was recently evicted from a rented house after a dispute with the landlord and is now living with her grandchild, said the restitution process had failed her.
âThe restitution process must give me a place to live. I have been on their list since 2011. I am a pensioner with no husband. Right now I can show you at least four houses in phase 3 of the project that have been empty for five years.
