This is a very newsy piece, filled with facts and no real stories, per se; yet, it still manages moments of real emotion. In describing the housing situation in South Africa, “Housing” measures the affects of the phenomenon on the constructors, officials and the people who live in the newly erected homes. It does not really offer anything critical to say, nor does it offer any particular point-of-view; but it does bring to you a social event occurring a continent away and allows you to feel intimately acquainted with it.
