The N2 Gateway Occupations saw large numbers of government-built houses occupied illegally by local residents of Delft in the Western Cape during December, 2007. The houses in question were the new Breaking New Ground (BNG) houses in the Symphony section of Delft near the main road Symphony Way. This was the largest occupation of houses in South Africa's history.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Squatters vow war if evicted )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Housing and Evictions at the N2 Gateway Project in Delft )〕 ==Occupation== The BNG houses were originally promised to backyard dwellers in the area. After the January 2005 fire in Joe Slovo Informal Settlement, 1000 Joe Slovo families were moved to Transit Camps in Delft and promised priority in the allocation of N2 Gateway housing in Delft.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=N2 Gateway and the Joe Slovo Informal Settlement: The New Crossroads? )〕 The houses were occupied by backyard dwellers and other mostly poor residents in and around Delft on the 19th of December 2007. After the occupation, it emerged that a local DA councillor, Frank Martin, had encouraged local families to occupy the houses. Though the charges against Martin were later dropped, what ensued was a high profile political fight between the ANC and DA, each accusing the other of racism, playing party politics, and using the poor for their own gain.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=DA councillor's role in Delft is 'criminal' )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=DA's Delft councillor denies claims )〕 Police and a private security company began evicting residents on the 24th of December but were ordered to stop after the Cape High Court said that the evictions were illegal because the sheriff was using an eviction order granted to the City of Cape Town on October 2006 against other people.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Delft Evictions Halted Until Next Year )〕 〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Christmas Eve Evictions in Delft )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「N2 Gateway occupations」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
