After their homes were devastated by strong winds and torrential rains a few months ago, residents of KwaZulu Natal found themselves without a place to call home. There are still some people in KwaZulu-Natal who do not have a place to call home even though their homes were destroyed in the disastrous floods that occurred roughly six months ago. They had been residing on a piece of private property in Kwazulu Natal that is owned by one of the local businesspeople. The government had told those individuals that they would provide them with new homes; however, it has been six months and nothing has been done to fulfill that promise. Some people simply got lucky and were the recipients of houses that were handed to them as donations.

Because the owner of the private property where the people who were reported missing were staying told them to leave because construction work needed to be done, the people who were reported missing are currently without a place to sleep. Because they were evicted from the private land they had been occupying, a large group has resorted to utilizing buses as a makeshift shelter so that they may be protected from the elements.

Some of them are currently fasting and sleeping on the streets while the bus is currently parked in front of a police station. They have no food with them. They were meant to be provided with temporary lodging at the very least in order to buy them some time while they thought of a more permanent solution. People’s hearts were broken when they saw this shared on social media, particularly as a result of the participation of youngsters of such a young age in the event.

 

 

 

 
Opinion:

It would appear that the current government is making an effort to demonstrate something to Kwazulu Natal. You will recall that the people of KZN have grown dissatisfied with Ramaphosa. They have expressed that they are sick of him and that they do not want him to serve another term. This must be a political move on Ramaphosa’s part in an attempt to demonstrate his influence to them. People in Kwazulu Natal are so invested in Zuma that they are even waiting for him to be released; therefore, they should go to Nkandla and make a request to sleep there because there are many houses there.
