We Want the Full Loaf (not just a child support grant)
The Slums Act
The Slums Act first came to our ears as a Bill in 2006. The information about this Bill came to us indirectly through our sources.
It was clear that we needed to discuss this Bill as Abahlali. M'du Hlongwa and I both went to the Government Communications to ask a copy. We had two copies and we shared these copies and we analysed the Bill. We had a number of meetings where we read the Bill together going one line by one line.
