The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted the Human Settlements Department to build temporary housing structures, until a permanent solution is found.

Human Settlements Minister Lindiwe Sisulu has praised her department for erecting these 70 new houses in record time. CourtesyJOHANNESBURG - Residents of Ikemeleng on Johannesburg's West Rand have been given temporary living structures after four years of living in tents.

"Why did it take you four years to discover? You are the media, your job is to bring to the attention of officials of society some of the hazards of the way people are living.Why are you chasing stories that will give you the necessary popularity? This is what you should be concerned about. How are our people living? This is something that you should have brought to our attention a long time ago," said Sisulu.

The Public Protector will now monitor conditions at the settlement to ensure government’s commitments are honoured.

barrybateman Where you having your hair done minister?

barrybateman Your father would be pretty disappointed in your behavior

Hi wena you knew nothing? Eish.... should we report about state capture again?

barrybateman This woman is dishonest. For the past 2 elections the electoral tents formed part of the tent settlement. Why is it news to her and her commies once electioneering is over?

barrybateman And after all this is done, Mme. Sisulu will forget about this project like countless others that have never seen the light of day, or never completed.

barrybateman She is also out of line and not minister material!

barrybateman GOVT has lost touch with reality.

barrybateman So now we must do yr job for you . Can i get paid what u getting paid to do minister

barrybateman Media has been pointing out pit toilets at schools for YEARS and nothing has happened. LindiweSisuluSA is ridiculous. Blaming the media for governments failures to provide basics is not ok.

Typical, never the ruling party's fault for anything, always someone else, why is so little being done by this department? what has been achieved in the last 20 years? and what is the cost of these achievements?

So what is the government being paid for, if it's the media's job? 🤯

LindiweSisuluSA - Your 'outburst' towards the Media was totally uncalled for!

She can't take aim at herself I suppose.

Check her bank balance

Did she blame the media!!! while they r not dn their jobs. Amanyala enyoka!! How do they not know that such places exist. Kanti wt r their deployed councilors doing. This government is not in touch with its ppl n day by day they r exposing themselves.

HOW MUCH DID THOSE SHACKS COST?

Jou pa sou jou darem nou n moerse pk gegee het.

Sisulu is just a rude woman. Period. Always charged up.

LindiweSisuluSA Check your privilege.

LindiweSisuluSA PresidencyZA This is disgraceful. How much did these shacks cost with no water, no sanitation. And yet she us floating around like she is the fairy godmother. Disgusting.
