This has to do with fundemental basics that are lacking in our Government i.e. Good Planning, Good Impementation, Good Communication, Good Co-ordination and Good Communication. That is why there is a free for all solutions by disgrantled community members now we are going to face another massacre. The people 's perception about officials is that they are corrupt, lazy and dishonest so the solution si grab the houses before they are sold to some people who jump the list!!!

"Armed with approval letters from the council, others have moved into unfinished houses, saying the houses have been left like that for a long time"

I would like to appeal to the Sowetan editors to please refrain from using the word "ARMED". Knowing the kind of leaders we have, we might experience another marikana. "Shoot to kill"

Morena: I thought only the DA was messing this up. At least that's what all the ANC loyalists here seem to think. Do they not notice these articles? Or are the articles concocted by "agents"?

I hate to say it, but this RDP houses brought pain to the housing industry, they are been build next to Bond houses and as such the value of those bond houses go down, they are given to people who dont deserve them, some earn more than us, but qualify for RDP and still they want me to pay Rates and Taxes, This Government is doomed. They must stop RDP projects and come up with something better, the very same houses, when it rains, they fall on people. We have a stupid Government in deed
