The meat-stall owners came out in numbers and blocked SST residents from offloading their material on the site. At least 38 shack dwellers were expected to be relocated to the area to pave the way for the City to fix the sewerage system at SST.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking on condition of anonymity for fear of harassment, one of the meat-stall owners said they won\u2019t allow people to build shacks near their businesses without their consent. She said they felt disrespected by the councillor for not consulting them before relocating them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCouncillor should have informed us about his plans beforehand,\u201d she asked. \u201cWe can\u2019t just see people occupying this space without knowing. Imagine there will be stinking Mshengu (temporary toilets), and people are peeing everywhere while we are selling food on the other side. Who is going to come and buy from us? Over our dead bodies will anybody erect a shack here.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Images\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_71b588a2\">\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"An open space where the shack dwellers from SST we\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/10964\/492b898e546b4d58ae2cd90f9fd6fb4c.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/cityvision\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/362723363ae248d1a182efaffa8bfbba.jpg\" title=\"An open space where the shack dwellers from SST were supposed to build their shacks. \"><p><\/p>\n<div class=\"caption\">An open space where the shack dwellers from SST were supposed to build their shacks. <\/div>\n<div class=\"img_accreditation\"><span class=\"source\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><span class=\"photographer\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Ward 93 councillor Thando Pimpi said, on Monday 19 February, to assess his next move he was going to have a meeting with the SST residents on Tuesday 20 February.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe residents had to go back to SST because the meat-stall owners didn\u2019t allow them to build their shacks,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m confused because most of the meat stall owners are not from this ward.
