QQ Section

QQ Section also known as Tambo Park, was founded in 1989 and is an Informal Settlement in the Site B sub-division of Khayelitsha in South Africa.

The city has refused to build toilets in the settlement and residents have to either pay homeowners in Q Section to use their facilities or cross the N2 freeway and use an open field.

Protests by the community have included marches to the Mayor and Premier, civil disobedience and road blockades.

Most prominent is the work of the NGO CHOSA, which supports a community-run daycare centre inside the settlement.
