Associations representing disabled people in Musina, Limpopo, say there are not enough houses adapted to their needs.

Lucia Ndou and her daughter Takalani Munakisi, who is disabled, are lucky to be alive. The shack where they lived in Matswale in Musina caught fire in 2017.

According to Lehlohonolo Raphono from the Association for Persons with Disability in Limpopo, none of the more than 500 people with disabilities on the association’s database live in appropriate houses.“The government should build these people special houses.” Hitekani Magwedze, of Limpopo COGHSTA, told _GroundUp _that Musina had been allocated 445 houses for the current financial year. He said modified houses were supplied to disabled people who applied.

“The rooms are small in such a way that it becomes very difficult for the disabled to move around with a wheelchair,” said Mbewe.
