Chairperson, I'm sorry that I am speaking with my back towards you. I give notice that I shall move at the next sitting of the Council:
That the Council -
1) debates the failure of government to address the housing needs of over 2 million families as estimated by the department, more particularly government's unwillingness to cut loose tenderpreneurs such as Wiseman Mpisane and Mike Mokoena; 2) further debates the shocking lack of transparency and accountability in commissioning housing projects, with the result that the poor and the marginalised people of our country are given shoddy structures unfit for human habitation, which have to be taken down and rebuilt; and
3) recognises the importance of government focusing on the real and urgent needs of the people rather than the greed of its friends in high places.
