Listen "Alexandra container homes still empty four years after construction"

Episode Synopsis

Container homes, built in 2021 to ease overcrowding in Alexandra, Johannesburg, at the height of the covid pandemic, remain unoccupied. A year after unlawful occupiers were evicted for the second time, the complex’s hundreds of living spaces stand empty. And the City still cannot commit to a timeframe for when they will be allocated.  Mbuyiseni Ndlozi is in conversation with Johannesburg MMC for Human Settlements, Mlungisi Mabaso. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
