A family in Inanda Township has been living in a crumbling house infested with rats and snakes since damage occurred during heavy rains in 2012. The mother of three children appealed to local officials for help with no response. She and her kids fear anything could come through a large hole in the bedroom wall and two children have health issues. A neighbor is considering making a complaint to human rights organizations about the poor living conditions. The local councilor acknowledges the situation but says his hands are tied and officials have visited three times with no solution yet.
