The City of Johannesburg hired the Red Ants to evict people who had occupied housing units in Fleurhof in this file picture.Residents of Fleurhof in Johannesburg, like many other residents who live in mixed-income housing projects, have complained bitterly about the quality of the buildings they inhabit.

The situation in Fleurhof is an indication that there is a need for greater accountability and transparency in the allocation of public funds.
