Press Release: Urgent call for Schubart Park residents to register

Lawyers for Human Rights is urgently calling on the people evicted from Schubart Park in Tshwane in September 2011 to register as former residents next week.

This is the second registration period and the last chance to register. Those that fail to register and are identified as former residents will be unable to access alternative accommodation and return to their homes in the Schubart Park complex.

A court order in October last year requires that former residents, identified through an agreed process, must be assisted with temporary accommodation before being allowed to move back into the Schubart Park buildings.

Registration will take place between 14-18 January 2013 at the Inner City offices, Sammy Marks complex (on the corner of Madiba and Sisulu streets). The City of Tshwane and members of the Schubart Park Residents’ Association will be working to register former residents between 9am and 4pm.

Those wanting to register must bring a copy of their own and their dependents’ ID book, passport or asylum/refugee permit.
