18 November 2014
The South African Communist Party (SACP) in the Western Cape has learnt with shock about the fire that destroyed three shacks and the unfortunate death of a 1 year toddler. This incident took place at YAB Section Site B, Khayelitsha on Saturday night 15th November 2014.
It is incidents like these that continue to anger the SACP in the Western Cape more particularly against the backdrop of an uncaring and unresponsive "Democratic Alliance" (DA) led government failing to improve the squalid conditions of our people.
It is unforgivable that the same City of Cape Town, in the midst of such squalor, decides to invest public funds to the speculative financial sector such as the R2.7 million which went the drain after the collapse of African bank.
As the SACP we are calling on the government to speedily assist the three families that have lost shelter, more specifically the family that has lost a toddler.
