[SUBMISSION] SERI makes two submissions to the UN Special Rapporteur on the right to adequate housing (4 May 2021). On Friday, 30 April 2021, SERI made two submissions to the Special Rapporteur on the right to adequate housing in line with the special rapporteur’s call for inputs on housing discrimination and spatial segregation. In it’s first submission, SERI highlighted the lack of viable formal rental options for inner city residents and how this exacerbates the challenges of unlawful occupations in South Africa. The submission discussed on-going unlawful evictions in spite of protective legislation preventing such, considered the reactive alternative accommodation strategies across municipalities and the relocation of evictees to distant and peripheral areas. Lastly, we discuss the failure to dismantle Apartheid spatial planning and implement progressive legislation in order to achieve spatial justice goals.
