Shack dwellers unhappy with Gateway housing

Shack owners in Langa outside Cape Town say they are unhappy at not being informed in time to make way for phase two of the N2 Gateway housing project. Their structures are being demolished by the Western Cape local government and housing department for construction of the RDP houses to start.

Nosipho Quba, the shack dweller, who has lived in the area for seven years, says communication by the housing department should be improved. Phase 2 will cater for those residents who cannot afford to move into 705 completed units, which are still unoccupied. SABC
