First world politics. <p>Still fresh after putting the spotlight on transport issues Trevor Manuel has decided to lay his skeptical gaze <a href="http://www.iol.co.za/index.php?set_id=1&#38;click_id=6&#38;art_id=vn20061018015357319C253292">on housing</a>. Now this is actually quite interesting as Manuel seems to be publicly casting doubt over the achievements of a fellow minister. I&#8217;m sure Minister of Housing Lindiwe Sisulu would have liked to have held up the estimates of close to two million houses supposedly built for the poor as an achievement but Manuel has come out pretty quickly not only casting doubt over the actual number of houses built but also asking why government spending has doubled on housing but delivery has slowed.</p> Wed, 18 Oct 2006 12:28:00 -0400 urn:uuid:7c63e723e224734017fdd12b19cb164f Farrel http://politics.za.net/articles/2006/10/18/trevor-manuel-talks-housing Housing Finance
