Cape Town – “They come and go and nothing has changed. This place will always be the same, no one cares,” these were the words of Langa resident and ANC activist Eunice Patiwe, describing how politicians visited yet still the filth over-runs the area. Patiwe, who has lived in Langa for the most part of her life, said she used to live in a hostel, infested with rats. She might be a homeowner now, but it took her many years, she said.
“But things have changed. It has become a place of filth and crime. In the zones where most people are living, the streets are full of dirt, the drains are overflowing, and there is a strong stench. "When you walk the streets you are always warned to be cautious, as you might be the next victim,” added Patiwe.
“In 2011, we had a big fire that came from the shacks and burnt some of the hostels, including this one I am currently staying in. We did not get any assistance from the city regarding our homes,” he said.
Dont worry as long as you vote anc anc will come and fix it. Just be patient they have a hundred-plus million to first spend on celebrations on winning the elections 👍👍👍👍
