Thembinkosi Mncube said, "The allocation of RDP houses to people who have registered their names with the government continues to be a challenge in the community.

They have papers that prove that their houses were built in certain areas but other people are staying in those houses. Our people in the community who registered for housing over 20 years ago are still on the waiting list. The very same people have lost hope – that is why we have constant service delivery marches.
