Housing Minister proves she does not give a shit

In an extraordinary and heartless outburst on SABC housing minister Lindiwe lost her cool with protesting "unco-operative" shack dwellers.

Lindiwe Sisulu, the housing minister, has lashed out a people pursuing what she terms, exclusionary housing practices.

A statement issued by the minister after a march to Parliament by a small group of residents from Joe Slovo informal settlement in Langa, has warned that the group was against the development of integrated human settlements.

In their memorandum, residents are demanding RDP houses in their areas instead of being moved to Delft to pave way for the second phase of the N2 Gateway Housing project.

Sisulu says those who marched appear to be unwilling to accept that communities of the future will cut across class and race.

(Perhaps those protesting were against being moved repeatedly without ever having the opportunity to get adequate housing themselves? Either you are with us or you are against us! If you are against us then you have a class/race problem. We must thank the minister for clearing that up - it has nothing to do with the lack of a plan of how to provide of affordable homes or the snail's pace the ad hoc developments are taking place at)
