"Everything we worked for has been destroyed. We built the wall with contributions from elderly people. Now it is gone and the residents stole our bricks," Baloyi said.

They should stop using such anti-revolutionary language. The correct term is expropriated without compensation.

I also read it from time to time. Its a good newspaper and despite the name less bias than news 24 or IOL.

And it seems like they still employ some journalist not just copyandpasters.

"Before I could engage the elderly, the community had made a decision about the road and destroyed the garden," Makola said.

Ja since when do the comunity just build roads wherever they want.

 

[access]

so the community didnt want the vegetable garden there and destroyed it?

 

[Seriously]

The only reason I posted this story is in the hope someone with a good heart would see this and assist with the plight of these poor people. They relied on this since 1994.

Wont be surprised to learn that this was deliberately aranged by some nearby shops.

Sad all round development anyway.

 

[Seriously]

Sorry for your loss.

Ag shame. You must have been devastated to find the travesty was executed by someone different than that you expected when you saw the thread title?
