In an area known as Endlovini in Asla Park, an informal settlement has been expanding since 2014. Elementary services, such communal taps and a few communal toilets were supplied by the municipality for the scores of people who have settled there. To this day, people are unobstructed when erecting makeshift dwellings in this area despite the lack of services as there simply are no other formalised areas available in which to settle. The community leaders say they were promised in 2014 that the area would receive electricity. For this reason, a red number was painted on the front doors of the homes. Nothing came of the promises, and illegal electricity connections now crisscross the area.
