…The motivation behind the demolition exercise remains unclear,
Couple of days ago the Kasoa community witnessed a demolition exercise that left a trail of destruction and devastation in its wake.

The demolition targeted several stores and wooden structures, many of which were family-owned businesses and homes. The affected individuals were given little notice, and their pleas to spare their properties fell on deaf ears. The scene was chaotic, with people scrambling to salvage what they could from the wreckage.
The community is reeling from the shock, struggling to come to terms with the scale of destruction. The demolition has not only destroyed physical structures but also erased memories, traditions, and a sense of belonging. The affected individuals are left to pick up the pieces, unsure of how they will rebuild their lives and businesses.
The motivations behind the demolition exercise remain unclear, but many suspect it is part of a larger plan to gentrify the area and make way for new developments or resale the lands to unscrupulous buyers.The community is demanding answers and justice, calling for those responsible to be held accountable.
