Thank you for InternAfrica. I am a resident in one of the more affluent suburbs of Cape Town. I am involved with various associations that have some influence. In the responsibility for housing that we all share, my role has become to understand the pressures of housing so that I can share information with the constituted community based organisations in this area. We all need to understand the issues, not only the activists and politically aware, but also the comfortable surburbanites who seem to think they are too entitled to care.... So I appreciate what you are doing here - presenting the case for housing from a range of sources. I find it hugely useful. Please keep doing the good work here. Thanks, Ann
Thank you for all the work you are doing for communities in the Cape. I live in Johannesburg and identify with Ann's description of comfortable surburbanites working full time in Rosebank and living in the Northern Suburbs.
In December 2009 I got out of my comfort zone and committed to actively making a difference. I set up a website www.nyeupeinitiative.com appealing to foreign nationals like myself to help end xenophobia by contributing towards development in Alexandra. I believe that together we can do more. The service delivery gaps are an opportunity for communities to do something to help themselves.
Your blog has been useful in giving me information that I can pass on to the communities I interact with in Alex. I am even more inspired by contributors like Ann who encourage and offer support through much needed networks for initaitives that need that extra boost to keep going!
Keep up the good work representing those without voices InternAfrica.
In Solidarity.

I also would want to buy an RDP House the Government does not cater houses for us working class black people, It's imposible to buy a legit house in this country I think the government should have low cost housing that they can sell to us because it's useless if people can buy RDP Houses for R10 000 and never get cought...especially people who donnot qualify.
