South Africa: Families to Return to Bishopscourt, 60 Years After Forced Removals

Families displaced by forced removals sixty years ago are set to return to the Bishopscourt area in South Africa. The project involves a cross-subsidised housing development designed to facilitate the return of these residents to their ancestral land. Construction for the initiative is currently underway and is scheduled for completion in 2028. This development marks a significant effort to address historical land dispossession in the region by integrating residential housing back into the Bishopscourt community.
