Housing delivery under the spotlight on Cape Flats

Informal dwellers in Valhalla Park on the Cape Flats have appealed to authorities to speed up housing delivery.

This comes as heavy rains continue to hit the Peninsula, leaving their shacks flooded. Some are ankle deep in water. One resident, Caroline Stynder, says she was tired of broken promises by the government. She says she will only vote in the next year's general elections if she has a house.

Stynder has also challenged the authorities to visit their settlement to witness their living conditions following the heavy rains. - SABC
