The Minister who stole Christmas
9 December 2021
It seems that this year the Grinch can step aside as Minister Patricia De Lille takes “grinchness” to a whole new level.
SAPS members residing in secure and safe houses in Cape Town were advised that they must vacate their homes by 31 December 2021 as a market-related rental of triple their existing payments will be instituted from 1 January 2022.
The residents of these houses are not mere tenants, but are members of SAPS who have been moved to these houses to protect them and their families as remaining in their own communities would place them in danger. This danger being as a direct result of their work to keep us safe.
The rental increases follow an assessment conducted by Minister De Lille’s Department of Public Works and Infrastructure to determine market-related rentals on these properties.
