The 18 hectare settlement houses approximately 30 000 people. Certain parts of the settlement is lacking important infrastructure: minimal water supply, few toilets and no sewerage system. According to Wikipedia The Disa River which runs through this settlement has the highest level of e-coli bacteria that has ever been recorded in South Africa. On 11 and 12 March 2017, a large section of Imizamo Yethu was devastated by fires that killed 3 people, destroying 3500 homes and displacing 15 000 people.
