Despite these achievements, we remain with a registered backlog of two million three hundred thousand people who are still waiting for housing and it is growing. It is growing because urbanisation is one of those unstoppable phenomenons of our time, especially on the African continent. I have yet to learn of a government that has been able to provide as much for the poorest of society, within the context within which we have had to operate to remove the indelible Apartheid Spatial Pattern and put pressure and expectations on ourselves to meet the expectations of our people.
