PRETORIA, – The undersigned organizations have learnt with deep sadness and outrage of the devastating fire currently engulfing parts of the Plastic View informal settlement in Pretoria East, next to Woodlands Mall. The fire has destroyed numerous homes and displaced vulnerable families, many of whom have lost all their belongings.
Reports on the ground indicate that at least one person has tragically lost their life as a result of the fire, while many others have been displaced and remain uncertain about the whereabouts of loved ones and neighbours. The full extent of the damage is still unfolding.
We stand in full solidarity with the residents of Plastic View, a community that has endured years of neglect, indignity, and broken promises from the state. Once again, poor and working-class families are paying the price for the government’s continued failure toprovide safe, adequate, and dignified housing.
This tragedy was not unavoidable, it is the predictable consequence of years of state inaction and the persistent failure to implement court ordered housing solutions. Plastic View residents continue to live in overcrowded and dangerous conditions, without adequate electricity, sanitation, water infrastructure, firebreaks, or emergency access routes. Families are forced to survive in structures made from highly flammable materials, leaving entire communities exposed to deadly fires, floods, and other preventable disasters. The conditions in Plastic View, and in informal settlements across South Africa, constitute a daily assault on human dignity.
We urgently call on the City of Tshwane, provincial authorities, and national disaster management structures to immediately:
We further appeal to members of the public, civil society, faith-based organizations, and the private sector to assist affected residents with donations of clothing, school uniforms, food, toiletries, and other essential items.
Plastic View has long stood as a symbol of deep inequality and spatial injustice in South Africa. Situated next to affluent suburbs and commercial centres, residents continue to live without basic services and secure housing.
For years, the undersigned organizations have been involved in litigation and advocacy relating to eviction threats and housing rights violations affecting the residents of Plastic View. For nearly two decades, court orders have directed the City of Tshwane to provide alawful and dignified housing solution for the residents of Plastic View. Yet despite repeated litigation and court’s intervention, residents remain trapped in unsafe and inhumane conditions, exposed to recurring fires, eviction threats, and systemic neglect.
South Africa’s housing crisis has reached catastrophic levels. The national housing backlog exceeds 3.7 million units, while more than 12 percent of households live in informal dwellings.In Gauteng alone, the housing backlog exceeds more than one (1) million units. The continued failure by the state to address this crisis entrenches poverty, inequality, and spatial apartheid, while exposing poor communities to life threatening conditions.
The undersigned organizations therefore call on the City of Tshwane and national government to urgently:
1.Declare a housing emergency intervention for vulnerable informal settlements.
2.Comply with all outstanding court orders relating to Plastic View and other informal settlements.
3.Prioritize dignified, rights-based housing solutions developed in consultation with affected communities.
4.Accelerate the provision of basic services, including water, sanitation, electricity, waste removal and fire prevention infrastructure in informal settlements.
The fire at Plastic View is not merely a humanitarian crisis but an indictment of a state that has repeatedly failed poor communities despite clear constitutional and legal obligations.
If urgent action is not taken, more lives will be lost in entirely preventable tragedies!
The undersigned organizations will continue to monitor developments closely, support affected families, and pursue accountability for the ongoing violations of the right to adequate housing!
