The real meaning of the word "Township" is settlement, it does not mean shacks and no facilities.

To clear up, in general, the word township is simply a town planning term indicating a particular area or settlement in an urban area.
However, in the former apartheid South Africa, it has taken on a meaning indicating underdeveloped areas reserved for non-white people.
We need to get the latter interpretation of the word out of our vocabulary !!
Why more townships ? Should the name Township, not have been removed long ago ?
We have so many little towns in South Africa, busy dying, why not just use those for housing.
The Gauteng area with all those open houses on most mines and in villages
, is ideal for this type of so called development, and it would be cheaper !
