AEC Note: The Anti-Eviction Campaign refuses to get involved in the opportunism and politics of the DA/ANC rivalry. We are not stupid and we know that both political parties tell lies to our communities – yet we still engage with them to try towards change. Both the City and the Province are failing to provide basic services, land and houses to our people. This opportunistic press release (below) should be seen as such.
PRESS RELEASE BY COUNCILOR MZUVUKILE FIGLAN
SUB-COUNCIL CHAIRPERSON- SUB- COUNCIL 14
DA MEMBER N2 DEVELOPMENT CONSTITUENCY
MIRANDA NGCULU ADMINISTRATION BUILDING
Date: 05/11/2008
I am dismayed by the manner in which MEC for Housing Whitey Jacobs can not handle questions from the Anti Eviction Campaign. In his address he alleges that when raising the question of back yard dweller with government and Municipality they speak about N2 Gate way. My borne of contention to his speech was, he was representing the government at the meeting as MEC but have chosen to flatter them.
MEC has deliberately told lies that the City Of Cape Town does not want to release land, The City of Cape Town does not own land, he knows exactly they are responsible for the housing of people of the Western Cape. He is averting by what he and his cohorts deed in Black and White city and people have discovered that you told them lies by shifting your responsibilities and peddling lies. Your desperate attempts to besmirch the City of Cape Town are none other than avoiding embarrassment.
