Is the Mayor telling us that the Municipality has been waiting for the department to allocate houses to beneficiaries for more than 10 years? why are these people selfish about the money that its not even theirs, whats so difficult about writing a Memorandum for the allocation of funds and other resources to deliver to the people as promised...These officials are lazy and very selfish and they are tarnishing the image of our politics and that of the country Report Abuse

Goverment must just stop with the multi-million rand tenders and rather let communities organise themselves and subsidise them to build their own houses. Thats how we as Africans have always done it , Letsema.
My aunt lives in Botlokwa. There is a group of women there who will make bricks for you. She paid them they came, made the bricks. Then there is group of men who build houses. She started the process in October and by Chrismas three of the rooms were completed and she could move in.She is a domestic worker by the way

I would like to support the statement by "maditaba" and yes people must stop accussing the government about the houses because for they are lazy to go and get work so that they can b.uy their own houses and i believe that the government doesn't owe them a thing all they have to do is to work for themselves so that they can have a better life and stop toyi-toying,disrupting schools because by so doing they are building an uneducated community who will in future hold government for the things they should have fixed while growing up which is going to school to pave way for your own future.

We can easily blame the people for dependency and this irritating entitlement but i will say the Govt blurted out to the people that with them in power, there will be housing, job creation and delivering of basic necessities.
Obviously this is not happening and after a year or so of waiting, i would assume that anyone can start making a plan to make things happen. To wait for 18yrs is mind boggling.
People need to understand that even when you pray to God for a job, you need to go out there and search as no one will coming on your door that they had a dream of you wanting one.

Okay, they have started to build the houses like you expect them to do. Now the Municipal is coming to demolish what they could not provide in the first place. What the hell is that? Lets say some had money to build brick houses, do you realize that those houses would be demolished too? Whether they are willing to pay out from their pockets for residency they will still be prosecuted for not having the patience longer than 20 yrs to get infrastructure. Its like the government is purposefully denying them the right to exist, b cos no matter what they try its not good enough in the eyes of the state. They have waited for 18yrs how much long should they wait? What exactly r u and the government trying to provoke. Because if you r expecting the community in question to remain submissive and obedient under such circumstances they will go extinct together with the children. Don't forget that there could be doctors of tomorrow in that dirty slum. Report Abuse

I was there.
I saw the guys working.
One guy was sweating amidst the Stink & Crap, but cheerfully singing:
"""ANC, My party.
Viva ANC, ANC for Ever. ANC till Jesus come."""
I asked him what was making him so happy and he answered that he will gladly stay amidst the shiiitt & CRAP.
As maybe it will allow JUJU to steal enough money to build a R 24 million house.
