'Change outlook on housing'

October 06 2008

By Mercury reporter

South Africa in general, and Durban in particular, need to abandon the idea that a "world-class" city is a place where the poor are hidden from view.

This is among the recommendations in a report released on Monday by the Centre on Housing Rights and Evictions, which is based in Geneva.

The centre argues in a report on housing issues in the eThekwini region that the South African government, cities and civic organisations should undergo a general paradigm shift regarding housing policy.
