The housing crisis in SA
Nkosikhona Swartbooi Head of advocacy and organizing of the Social Justice Coalition (SJC) and Founder member of Reclaim the City.
Reclaim the City is a movement of tenants and workers campaigning to stop our displace-ment from well-located areas and secure access to decent affordable housing. We believe it is time to take the struggle for housing to the centre of the city, to the heart of power, to the people who should live there, and to the land that matters. Land for people, not profit!

The South African government says 3.2 million homes were built from 1994 to 2018. There was a dramatic growth in construction in the early years of ANC rule (1994-1999).
