Johannesburg - The government was to blame for the death of a 49-year-old Limpopo woman who was crushed to death when a pile of bricks fell on her during a storm that damaged RDP houses in Hoedspruit, the Anti-Privatisation Forum (APF) said on Wednesday.
"A storm is a natural disaster that we don't plan for and it can hit at anytime causing havoc... but for me they (government) are the guilty party.
"It is a fact that the quality of RDP houses is of a poor standard and the government doesn't hide this point," spokesperson Silumko Radebe said.
He was responding to an article published by the Sowetan on Wednesday, saying that Maria Mathebula died under a pile of bricks that fell on her when she was sleeping with her three children in Molalane village around 19:00 on Monday.
The vicious storm also destroyed 300 other RDP houses in the area.
