“The hall that I visited yesterday [Wednesday] is inhumane. It is absolutely disgraceful that people have to live under those conditions. We will now lodge a complaint with the human rights commission. I will further engage with the SAHRC chairperson to invite him on the ground to join me to have a look at this situation. According to our information in eThekwini, not outside, there are only actually about 80 units built.
