The "Leader of Government Business" in KZN truly fancies himself Deputy Premier. This is not normal behavior, and it has no precedence in any other province.
Something is wholly wrong here, especially because this thing of his has been called out many-a-times before!

1. The IFP led Nkandla Municipality through disaster relief funding is assisting this family.
2. Their housing application amongst many of the same area have been stuck with the ANC led KZN Provincial Gvt for 5 years.
3. Housing programs are mainly a Provincial Gvt competence.
While doing door to door today in Nkandla we came across this family of 08, living under terrible conditions. The ANCYL have committed to go all out and fundraise to build a conducive and a better home for this family. We will never rest while dogs of the rich eat better than us!
