The grazing land next to people’s residential has been taken and turned into dwelling place .

This is happening in Ngwenyeni trust under Nkomazi Local Municipality where I grew up herding cattles.Despite the fact that there are farmers and the place is full of stones . It is now fully occupied and the only way to break the stones is by burning tires on top of those stones. The smoke from the tires is too dark and poisonous.

Trying to stop the intruders the farmers went to the induna(chief) to report this issue but some of the people’s have already build brick houses and they are unwilling to move.
The matter is now transferred to the municipality to intervene and come out with a solution.
