Today at 16h30, as the community of Joe Slovo, we will be holding a media briefing around the enumeration of the whole settlement of Joe Slovo. We have done a detailed survey and we need to share this information with the public because we assert that we, as the community, can do development work ourselves.
This is our first step toward a people-centred development where the people of the community rather than bureaucratic government officials are in control.
The press conference will be held in Chris Hani Hall in the centre of Joe Slovo and community members will be in attendance as well.
We have invited government officials and the MEC Housing has confirmed his attendance for this press conference.
For more information and directions, contact Mzwanele Zulu 076-385-2369 and 082-670-2068
Although a great event, the MEC for housing who had confirmed his attendance sadly withdrew at 4pm due to “ill health”. It was hoped that the DG for housing who did attend will pass on the information directly to the MEC for further consideration.
Well done to everyone from CORC and the Joe Slovo Task Team who participated in the enumeration.
