While the Western Cape is "the receiving province" for thousands of people migrating from the Eastern and Northern Cape in search of jobs, there is not enough housing for the massive influx of people.
But Local Government and Housing MEC Richard Dyantyi said the three provinces would find sustainable solutions to the problem. "We will not return to influx control or build a Chinese wall."
Statistics showed the Western Cape's population, about 5.2 million last year, grew by 16% annually and that 54% of this increase was from the migration of people from the Eastern Cape while the Northern Cape's contribution was about 10%, Dyantyi said. - Cape Times - HighBeam Research
