Motlanthe has been doing door-to-door visits and listening to the electorate’s concerns.<\/p>\n

Florence Banda\u2019s family was jovial following a visit from Motlanthe.<\/p>\n

Banda, who is 72 years old, says she and her disabled son have been waiting since 1996 for an RDP home.<\/p>\n

\u201cI won\u2019t give up hope because I have come a long way with the ANC since the 80\u2019s, before Mandela was released from prison.\u201d<\/p>\n

Miriam Malanda showed Motlanthe her documents from 1996 when she applied for an RDP home.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur government has treated us well, it is a few people working in government who are doing their own wrong things.\u201d<\/p>\n
