City needs to eradicate spatial segregation, says Land Party’s mayoral candidate Xoliswa Tsholoba.
Cape Town - Cape Town needs a clear plan on how to integrate the city to eradicate spatial segregation.The 58-year-old land and social activist is also a chairperson of Intlungu Yamatyotyombe, a movement formed after land occupations sprung up across Cape Town.
“The current municipality has no integration policy,” said Tsholoba. “If there was a plan like that, we would not be having issues of blocked drains in the Cape Flats. People would not be leaving their homes at 5am only to return at 8pm because of the apartheid spatial planning that the DA-led municipality failed to address.”“Even the houses that are built by this municipality are small. You cannot even have a small garden, we will build spacious houses that are also closer to the CBD.
Ma-Xoli as she is affectionately known, said many of the social ills could be resolved if elected leaders had a “servant attitude”. “If we are not dealing with the ANC’s corruption, it is the DA’s incompetence. The country needs leaders who are ready to serve the people. That is what we are promising, not only to the people in townships but also in suburbs too. We know that in the affluent areas, rates are killing residents.
