Compared to the junk they dish out under the banner of RDP-Housing this is amazing stuff. We are talking about housing for folk used to living in zinc huts(makoekoes) and with a very low per-capita income. Well done to the architects and sponsors.

I'm not South African but I don't mind if you're ashamed to be one. That’s your problem. I think it's a good initiative. Let's first wait and see the result before shaming ourselves uselessly.
