Maggie and Albert


I met Maggie and Albert on a visit to Khayelitsha, during my work for the Niall Mellon Housing Initiative.  Maggie is one of the beneficiaries of NMHI and is expecting to move from her shack to her brick house, hopefully by the end of this year 2009.  Currently she lives in this one roomed shack with her boyfriend Albert, as well as several adopted children.

Mongezi is also a beneficiary of NMHI, waiting for his house to be built.  He lives alone in his little shack and collects tins and other rubbish on his home-made trolley that he sells to the scrapyard at R40 a trolley.  He manages to fill 2 trolleys a week.
