Living conditions for residents of Mamelodi Hostel have deteriorated since the last report in October 2022.
In 2022, City of Tshwane spokesperson Lindela Mashigo promised to resolve issues with electricity and erect a security fence. However, nothing has been done.
Our room is cold at night because its windows are broken. I often suffer from the flu because of the cold.
says John Shabangu, 95, who has lived in the hostel for over 30 years.
