On June 4, 2026, angry residents in a KwaZulu-Natal community intensified efforts to reclaim government-subsidised RDP. The men and women gathered to take houses from individuals they identified as undocumented foreign nationals. SAPS were also on the scene.
Frustration over the RDP housing waitlist left KZN residents up in arms, and they took to the streets. A video by @thabiso.mrmayor.s captured the moment SAPS escorted people out of RDP houses while the community gathered around in support: The suspected foreigners living in the RDP were led in a police van with their belongings.

Despite the speed of the official process has not kept pace with public demand. With the 30 June 2026 deadline looming, residents' anger continues to rise.

The movement is also fueled by a severe housing backlog and recent discoveries of RDP housing fraud involving municipal officials, traditional leaders, and even inmates.
