An Arrested development
The issue of home settlements has remained a contentious one among many South African township residents, and with the advent of infrastructure development projects being instituted under government mandates, there seems to be a rise in corruption within the sector, and more devastatingly within community based housing projects.
Kokosi is one of such townships, now embroiled in various disputes with contractors and their municipal cohorts, while the disgruntled community that has been overlooked by house allocation processes continues to suffer.
This story is mere glimpse into what is a growing pandemic, which within these conducive virulent environmental conditions brought in by Covid-19, has mutated into what will soon become societal bug of an unprecedented scale, following in the footsteps of various global protestations against the POWERFUL.
