Some 40 years after being bulldozed from their homes by the apartheid regime, former District Six residents want the government to remove "foreign nationals" who are renting houses allocated to land claimants. Hundreds of displaced residents launched claims with the government as far back as 1995. About 134 units have been built, according to Michael Worsnip, chief director of restitution support for the Land Claims Commission in the Western Cape.But Tania Kleinhans-Cedras, a resident and chief of the Cochoqua clan, said some who received homes on prime property were letting out the units for as much as R7500 a month to foreigners, including Turks and Congolese."When we use the term foreign nationals we mean people who are not part of District Six, who are not former claimants, or people beyond the borders of South Africa," Kleinhans-Cedras said."There are even apartments that have been empty for two years while there are thousands of people being deprived from coming back."Kleinhans-Cedras said the community did not want more human rights violations to take place, but District Six "should be reserved for claimants".One woman, who asked not to be named, said her elderly mother had been on the waiting list for years and said it was unfair that those who were wealthy got homes before the poor.Faried Gamieldien's father lodged his claim for a house in 1995, but died shortly thereafter.Gamieldien is continuing with the restitution process, but at 60 he doubts progress will be made and has bequeathed the home to his son in his will. The residents held a meeting last night and will lodge a petition with parliament. But Worsnip said homeowners were entitled to rent their homes."You can't dictate who they can rent to. From the government's perspective, there are no restrictions. All they have to do is abide by the city's rules," he said.He said owners were not required to pay rates for the first 10 years but could also not sell the homes during that period...
