Poor communication aggravating housing problems

The Deputy Director-General of Housing and Local government in the Western Cape, Mbulelo Tshangana, says lack of communication between government and communities has aggravated housing problems in Delft and Joe Slovo on the Cape flats and needs to be improved. Tshangana was the main speaker at a debate on government's N2 Gateway housing project at the University of the Western Cape yesterday.

Recently a Cape High Court eviction ordered backyard dwellers in Delft to vacate illegally occupied houses which are part of the N2 Gateway housing project.

Meanwhile a leader of the Joe Slovo community in Langa on the Cape flats, Mzwanele Zulu, says they will be filing for leave to appeal against the Cape High Court decision to vacate the area, later today.

Earlier this week Cape High Court Judge President John Hlophe ruled that the more than 4,000 dwellers must temporarily relocate to Delft. The community is occupying land earmarked for the N2 Gateway housing project. Zulu says the community will be following the legal route. - SABC

Yes, it is correct - in 2008 it was communication! In 2011 it is the database!! Nothing to do with ability, experience or proffesion...
