Just weeks after Buffalo City Metro mayor Xola Pakati issued a stern warning to land invaders saying the city was not a "banana republic", the metro has been hit by yet another land grab frenzy - this time along the N2.

Land invaders have built shacks along the N2 between the Mdantsane and Fort Jackson route.

When DispatchLIVE visited the Smiling Valley area this morning, at least six new shacks had been built and two were still under construction.

The community committee and ward councillor Gwebile Gosani, however, said they had no idea who was behind the new land grabs that mushroomed over the weekend.
