Tough night for squatter camp

Nice, I am glad they building so quickly, these things usually take a hell of a long time to get off the ground. They must have had all the plans drawn up and approved beforehand

Yeah, pretty impressive.

The structures themselves are pretty impressive too. Basic, sure - but there's clearly some thought that's gone into this approach.

And a little bit less of an eyesore for you.

Across the road from us there is an informal settlement. The people where moved there along with a promise that they will get housing soon. Now this has not happened at all but what did happen is you see people washing their clothing what I can only describe as raw faecal matter.

Now I don’t have nearly enough money to begin to help them and the other side of the coin is some of them drive really expensive cars so I guess they can move out if they so wish. The reality however seems much more scary.

See that area was never used to construct buildings partly because of the water mass but there are rumours of sinkholes. I cannot confirm nor deny this. There is a road leading down there but it was never finished so clearly there must be something really wrong or someone made a mistake. I don’t know.

This is what I do know, infections, parasites and mosquitoes are a real problem but again little was done to inform people. The smell alone will make you sick. These people don’t need pleasing promises they need real help. Help that our government is paid to give. So why then have they been living in these conditions for a few years now?
