UNHOUSING THE RAINBOW: A REFLECTION ON SOUTH AFRICA'S HOUSING CRISIS
Cape Times
|May 02, 2025
IN 2022, I was a victim of a violent attack that left me disabled. The physical toll, and adjustments to my new adaptive lifestyle, necessitated a period of healing and reflection.
During this time, I reflected deeply on the systemic issues facing South Africa, and I rediscovered the purpose that once ignited my passion for justice.
I immersed myself in the very communities that first inspired my commitment to human rights. By listening more than speaking, observing more than acting, I witnessed first-hand the persistent struggles for equitable housing and land rights in South Africa. These experiences reaffirmed my belief that the fight for dignity and justice is far from over.
I have walked these streets. I have argued in the courts. I have buried the victims of neglect.
I never left the struggle - I simply needed time to find the right words. Now, I have written them.
'Unhousing the Rainbow' is not just about land or laws. It is about dignity. It is about who we become as a nation. This is my long-form piece (divided in 10 parts) on housing and hope in South Africa.
