So, it turned out to be true. A few weeks ago I raised alarm at the @Our_DA@CityofCT announcement that it was selling Annandale Farm for private development.
The land was purchased in order to address the housing crisis in Dunoon - Annandale is directly opposite Dunoon.
I said I believed the land had been purchased using USDG - grant funding - and selling it would be a breach of the grant conditions.
My PAIA application confirms the land was bought with funding meant to support housing development for the poor. No housing was built but now it’s being sold for private development and at a profit!
I’ve written to the Minister @The_DHS
Disgraceful. We need a moratorium on all sales of public land. That’s my commitment for day one.
In Joburg we have so many options of housing, rent and space. If we vote for Helen Zille, we will line up to view a tiny apartment that costs over R13000 per month like in Cape Town
He also recently tried to end dial a ride. A PAID service that transports handicapped, deaf and blind people to work. Told them they must take myciti! He lost in the high court. But he still gave it his best shot! Know your DA!
If you have a purple profile picture, pls can I ask you to consider posting more about the women of Sudan. They are facing what the UN is calling unimaginable violence through the RSF occupation. Their fight is our fight, please, even a RT helps put them on the radar for support
