Champion TEAM:
“Fourteen per cent of South Africans cannot afford to buy food, 10-million are unemployed and there is a backlog of three-million houses,” he said.
“We must use this backlog to stimulate the industrialisation of the housing production line.
“We can fight poverty, unemployment and associated social ills like crime through housing.
“It’s a matter of connecting the dots.
“And we need to begin by establishing community-based co-operatives and empower people to help themselves.”
The members of each co-operative would be trained in the multiple different skills, from welding and plumbing to electrical work and plumbing, required to build their own formwork homes, he said.
“They can then take these skills into the mainstream economy and establish sustainable businesses, producing a win-win scenario for SA and its people.”
