The okes are really trying all the cons in the book to try and undermine Zille. Waiting for years and years, but now, so skuins voor the election, they suddenly find mney to build a paltry 300 RDP dwellings. Tokyo, your sleight of hand only fools your own people.

Barcelona resident Noxolo Mawisa said: "We are not here to fight, we are here to demand our rights. We need houses. We heard that Zille would be here, so we want to ask her when we are going to get houses.

I also want to demand and demand, why am I working for what I want when others can just demand.

@Solutions this Noxolo Mawisa character should get education that just might enable her to use her brains instead of shamelessly demanding freebies, just where did she hail from it would be interesting as to why she didn't have a house in the first place,

sometimes I look at all these old politicians pushing their outdated BS and no brainer vote campaigning tactics and then I realise how we need young educated and energetic leaders with a vision and are in touch with our current social issues and have a goal plan, not these deployed corrupt tokens.

Hellen Zille never been poor she dont understand how it feels to sleep without food to sleep in shack, to be discrminated she knopws nothing about been destitude or needy, so how can she be able to provide for the poor, you cant hire a nanny who never had a child to look after your two months old baby. so people of the Cape Colony should liberate themselves comes next elections... and vote the D(double) A (Apartheid ) out.

South Africans are ungrateful pieces of isht. Always looking for handouts. The government made a mistake promising these donkeys free houses. To prove that south africans are use less look at the comments made about the 300 houses handed out in cape town. It is not the first time Sexwale handed out house this year but the focus os on the number given instead of the appreciation that houses were built and 300 families have homes. instead of supporting the housing minister in a job well done you still ungrateful. you people will never have anything, you will always expect to be given. try giving for a change. ungrateful mo ro ns
