Lack of development and corruption within the local housing projects were among issues raised at a community imbizo held at the Crossroads Sports Complex in the Cape Peninsula today.
Lindiwe Sisulu, the housing minister, and Mcebisi Skwatsha, the Western Cape ANC secretary, attended the imbizo.
Some of the residents from Boys Town informal settlement in Crossroads say they have been waiting to have their houses for eight years now. They told Sisulu that they have lost faith in their local councillors and that they want houses to be built in their areas and not elsewhere.
Sisulu will meet with a committee representing residents of Boys Town tomorrow to discuss the problems which led to lack of development in the area. - SABC
Residents of Crossroads on the Cape Flats will have an opportunity to highlight their plight when Lindiwe Sisulu, the housing minister, visits the area for an Imbizo later this morning. Residents are concerned that they have been waiting for houses for more than 20 years and are still using the bucket system. - SABC
