​The land that was invaded is earmarked for housing development, however, the Department was still waiting for a report after it commissioned an investigation to find out the depth of dolomite found in the land.
Building on dolomatic land is dangerous and can pose danger to the lives of people residing in the area.
MEC Moiloa said that he was informed & is aware of the deaths of two people that have passed on due to the clashes between the Red Ants and the community.
"I would like to extend my deepest condolences to the families of the deceased and call on law enforcement to take swift action against those responsible for the deaths.
"I would also like to humbly call on communities of Gauteng not to continue invading land earmarked for development as it slows down the provision of housing that our people desperately need," said the MEC.
