Inside Tshwane’s Housing Crisis

Loading player...
Thousands of people have been left homeless in Mamelodi, east of Pretoria, after devastating rains swept away their shacks and left one person dead. The tragedy highlights a housing crisis in Gauteng, which has seen thousands setting up homes on dangerous flood lines and dry river beds. Thousands of people have been temporarily housed in various community halls across Mamelodi as hundreds of shacks were either swept away or flooded for hours after a heavy downpour on Friday and Saturday.
