Tshwane Municipality Fails to Improve Living Conditions at Mamelodi Hostel
Living conditions for residents of Mamelodi Hostel have deteriorated since the last report in October 2022.
Residents face broken windows, door handles, and dirty water from broken toilets and showers flowing in front of some rooms. Human waste and rubbish are also visible on the grounds.
Our room is cold at night because its windows are broken. I often suffer from the flu because of the cold.
In 2022, the City of Tshwane promised to restore electricity and erect a fence, but nothing has been done. John Shabangu, a 95-year-old resident, has lived in the hostel for over 30 years and stays with another man in a room in Block D.
