A family from Colville in Kimberley has described a promise by the African National Congress (ANC) to build them houses as a publicity stunt.

When ANC President Cyril Ramaphosa visited the area in 2020 he was shocked when he discovered that the family of 53 members was crammed in one yard.Two years ago the family had hope for a better life. Fifty-three of them live in abject poverty under inhumane conditions. With a huge fanfare, top ANC officials gathered at their home and made promises.

“People must keep their promises. Even if it is something as big as this, coming here and making the promises to the family, telling them that they will have these houses. We just want answers now. Will these houses be built? Where do we stand as a family,” asks another family member Jean Jacobs. Residents who lived next to the land where the houses were being built argued that this would decrease the value of their properties.
