The next thing, Afrikaaners will be asking for afordable houses in Naboomspruit and Jakalsbossiesdorp. No one is special.

the government has only been giving Blacks what they want (remember want not need). Now they are trying to make the people of Eldo's fools by giving them the shit they will never give their brothers. VIVA Trevor Manual and other so called Coloureds that are a part of this government circus. You are just tokens there as you don't have the clout to do anything for us coloureds except deceive us into voting for your masters when it is election time. My people of Eldos carry on and make your voice heard

And the ANC wonders why it can't get an outright majority in the Western Cape. Your own racist policies have created this. Have you forgotten the efforts of coloureds during apartheid? I (coloured) was very young when my brother was beaten by police during riots in the 80's. Now everything is so racial, coloured people feel completely excluded. Let's be honest, Trevor Manual, or any coloured can never lead the ANC. But you want coloureds to vote for you. The ANC is NOT viewed as a fully representative party, even coloured people share this view. Yet you try to make people believe these are your principles. I'm not suprised at what is happening in Eldorado Park.

Haak Vrystaat ! ! !

it is time the coloured voice be heard and the government are only looking at ethnic blacks when they run projects that always end up in corruption,Jacob zuma came to Eldos when he needed votes,why did they the ANC not send their ooficials to Eldos to come nadl isten to the people,they only come when they need votes,do they think coloureds are only hungry and without houses every 4 years when they need vote.

All the blacks and coloureds here in New Zealand mix well with the South African whites. There is no racism here and we are all equal. It just shows you that in a non racial society racism disappears. We love to see a black and coloured face here as it reminds us of home. All races here get on very happily. SA can learn a lot from this.

The fact that this article about a suburb a in Joburg appears under the Western Cape region news in itself a stereotypical and racist viewpoint. If its coloureds then it must be the Western Cape! People need to get over themselves and get to work by building our communities. Self-respect and some pride goes a LONG way regardless of colour, black, white and YES even coloured! It starts be keeping the curb clean in front of your own home (be it a shack, flat, house or estate) This mentality of us and them must come to an end, and while it must be acknowledged that the redistribution of resources has not been properly managed, we cannot allow it stop the development of our nation as a whole. If you are not part of the solution, then are you are part of the problem. Get involved, volunteer, join your CPF, visit your local school, greet your neighbours, value state property as shared resources, learn a new language, prioritise education. Then maybe we'll get somewhere.

Coloured people are actually racist. I am coloured and grew up in the coloured schools, my problem is that I look like a white. So I ended up getting beaten up and bullied from a young age, and eventually didnt want to go to school anymore. I finished schooling through correspondence. I have green eyes, fair skin and straight hair and was always told "cat eyes" and "jy dink jy is beter as ons, want jy het gladde hare" ens. I had huge physical fights at school and actually dont have much time for my own nation today. As far as anonymous saying we must all work for stuff like the whites do, let me remind you. Whites had it easy for many years and got everything for next to nothing at the other races'' expense. It is our turn for the government to give back to us as our parents worked their buts off for years and got sweet nothing, which means their children (us) got sweet nothing. So deal with it Mr Whitey!!!!

anon, are you retarted with your fucked up reporting and conflicting information 'coloroureds don't want to mix' i am married to a black person. did the government even give the people in eldorado park a say or a vote before they decided to put up these houses? maybe that should be the issue here. by the way for your information and lack of it on your part, it is not just 'coloureds who live in eldorado park. you need to stop this stereotype that coloureds are associated with eldorado park. for your information; the people living in eldorado park, have families and children who go to school, they don't have cars and money to take busses. by giving rdp housing don't solve problems for the people in eldorado park, it affects everything. this should have been discussed with the people of eldorado park and voted on before funding was wasted and assumed that they just have to move. anon, you can now report on who and how was this decided instead of your fucked up 'coloureds don't want to mix' bull shit! it is people like you that gives people if colour a bad name. it's called 'divide and rule'

Reply to Anonymous "imagine the whites" You are such an A*%hole. Do you truly think whites are the only people who work in this country? I see people of all races begging all over this country... ALL RACES. Its people like you who have the pre-ordained, holier than thou mentality that keeps racism intact in this country. I am coloured, probably more educated than you, self employed in the IT industry which is primarily a pale male domain but made my mark by developing a software application which is a world first. YEP a coloured done that. Grow up lighty..urr I mean whitey!
