‘Most Schubart Park families co-operative’
“Most tenants are co-operative. It actually came as a surprise,” said City of Tshwane spokeswoman Dikeledi Phiri.
Those who had registered had been allowed to go into the complex to collect their belongings.
“There is a strong presence of Tshwane metro police and SA Police Service members to ensure that all residents are evacuated without causing any disruption in the inner city,” she said.
Residents of Schubart Park were to be relocated to Atteridgeville and Salvokop, west of Pretoria, because the building had been declared unsafe.
A group of residents protested on Wednesday, saying they had had no water or electricity for two weeks. Tyres were burnt inside the building, residents threw bricks and bottles onto the streets and a mobile toilet and car parked outside were set alight.
Police arrested 79 people for public violence during the protests.
