Last night the Joe Slovo community held a mass meeting with community
leaders such as Sfiso Mapasa. The community is angry because of the
corruption going on inside the N2 Gateway housing project where the belief
is that certain Housing Development Agency (HDA) officials and community
leaders are colluding to sell new RDP homes in the project.

HDA finally released the list of intended benificiaries to community
residents - something residents have been demanding for a long time. But
now, the Joe Slovo leadership is refusing to release that list to
residents to conduct their own investigation into the corruption. They are saying
that only the leadership can conduct the investigation. But the community
does not trust these leaders. They therefore have every right to conduct
an independent door-to-door investigation.

Yet last night, there was a fight with the community and its leadership.
The community is furious. The police has arrived and is now persecuting
the residents.

Abahlali kwaLanga TRA will be joining the Joe Slovo community for a
meeting right now at Chris Hani Hall in Joe Slovo.

Media are requested to attend and contact residents at the numbers below.
Joe Slovo leadership and HDA officials need to be held accountable.
