Please bare in mind that it is not the government's responsibility to put a roof over your head even though you have a right to shelter.That room that you are renting is better than a shack.The government has given all people equal rights and equal OPPORTUNITIES so if only you went to school while you still had a chance you wouldn't be leaving in a 1 room with 3 kids.You are not the only one leaving in a room, my mom applied for the RDP house in 1996 but she has not received the house even now,guess what.....I also live in a 1 room with my mom,my sister and my brother. We are not just sitting waiting for government to rescue us,my sister and I are furthering our studies through UNISA fees paid by a NSFAS, I am also in a learnership programme hosted by GDE. Our government is doing all they can and IF you and your kids don't grab opportunities you will leave in that room for the rest of your lives because you are still going to wait for a long time, there is a waiting list and the Department Of Housing can not give you a house before those who a at the top of the list, you have to wait, LETS NOT BLAME GOVERNMENT FOR OUR OWN MISTAKES AND IGNORANCE.Renting is not a big deal me and you are no different to people renting bond houses except our salaries, but we are all renting, even when you get the RDP house you still need to buy electricity and water(maybe)so PLEASE, wake up and get better education for your kids so that they can give you the life you want, NOT THE GOVERNMENT.

Gauteng MEC for Local Government and Housing, Kgaogelo Lekgoro, says more than 500 000 people registered for housing in Gauteng are still waiting for their homes to be built.

"Having delivered 650 000 housing opportunities in the last 15 years which gave shelter to an estimated 1.5 million people, we are still faced with more than 500 000 people registered as waiting for houses on our demand database," says Lekgoro.

Lekgoro, who was reporting back on his first 100 days in office, said housing shortages continued because people tended to migrate to Gauteng from South Africa and the rest of Africa.
