Housing in Soweto used to be cheap, but more and more people are moving into the township near Johannesburg. Sound, affordable homes are rare. One start-up is on a mission to build sustainable homes from recycled building rubble.

    There is some start up cash for this, just get Zuma to return all the billion rands of government money that he spent on his private yachts, super cars, houses and you can build a township with that money.

    I mean this really is a sufficient way to build houses. Africa is now going competitive and I really support them. I hope they are more of them, build wise earn clean!

    As someone who lived in South Africa 35 years I can tell you it’s pointless building anything in South Africa. It’s gets destroyed, burnt, looted and sometimes all 3. Corrupt feral ANC government has left masses to rot and country is essentially on the brink of economic collapse from years of government thieving. No amount of entrepreneurs can fix that mess.

    i get so sad when people actually dont know about these bricks. these are HYDRAFORM bricks they literally designed them for earthquakes. they made them to be interlocking because they dont use motor because brick and motor homes fall in small earthquake but interlocking brick are desiged to stay strong in the heaviest earthquakes ever recorded. and these are bullet proof because of how thick and dense and load berring you also dont need pillars. search HYDRAFORM they have a video

    German aid for South Africa : Cape Town: The German government on Monday pledged $2 million aid to solve a crisis in South African education, the German embassy said here on Monday. The pledge comes on the eve of President Nelson Mandela's three days state visit to Germany starting on Tuesday. German Chancellor Helmet Kohl pledged the money for the retraining of teachers and similar projects in Western Cape province, the embassy said in a statement.
