New squatting areas will not be recognised – Croal

“No new squatter settlements will be recognised.”

This was the declaration made by Housing and Water Minister Collin Croal during a recent housing drive at Uitvlugt, Region Three.

“We will not be recognising any new ones [squatting areas], but we recognise what we have met and we will work with those areas,” Croal was quoted as saying in a Department of Public Information (DPI) report on Tuesday.
