Lindiwe Lindiwe Lindiwe....
Housing Minister Lindiwe Sisulu has warned that protesters who closed a freeway near Cape Town "will be removed completely from all housing waiting lists" if they continue their housing demonstrations.
She said residents of the Joe Slovo informal settlement in Langa had to decide whether they wanted to co-operate with the government and qualify for housing.
"If they choose not to co-operate, they will be removed completely from all housing waiting lists."
Sisulu said the Gateway project management had been interacting with residents, and the violence was "completely unjustified"...
InternAfrica MUST POINT OUT:
Since the 1st large fire in Jo Slovo 1999, (& the annual large fire (5 since then) residents have been shunted from pillar through tent's and their posts to Delft and Happy valley. They have been displaced from their original place they were living to be moved for the select few who benefit.
Lindiwe would you go quietly if I just bashed down your house and promised you a new house sometime in the future if you vote for me, but nowhere near where you used to live because that's very exclusivist.

First National Bank and the Housing Ministry announced a partnership in June for 3,000 bonded housing units at sites in Joe Slovo and Delft. But residents are demanding free RDP homes, put off by a price tag of between R150 000 to R250 000 for the houses.
One resident claimed that no one from Joe Slovo was housed at the first phase of the N2 Gateway Project.
"Instead we have people living there from Khayelitsha, Gugulethu and other areas."
Luthando Ndabantu, who addressed the protesters, said people from Joe Slovo were promised houses after a devastating fire in January 2005. - The Star
