This book really illustrates how South Africa is the worst of both worlds, Third World dysfunction and modern rule by left-wing civil rights lawyers. Squatters occupy buildings and it is almost impossible to evict them. amazon.com
In Johannesburg's many illegally occupied buildings, you canโ€™t evict the squatters because of expansive legal precedents upholding a constitutional right to housing. If by some miracle you get a court order, then you have to deal with the guys with guns.
So youโ€™re saying that if you donโ€™t do something to limit migration to South Africa's cities, informal settlements of hundreds of thousands will inevitably pop up, posing a threat to safety, order, and public health? Fascinating, I wonder if anyone ever noticed this before.
