"Ultimately, the police ought not to be the business of evicting anybody from their home. You can't be evicted from your home unless you get a court order. So the police, I suspect, is acting on some kisses by favor, some friendship kind of thing."
"That's not how it works. Ultimately, there's a process you have to go through to get someone evicted from a house. And as I said, I don't know all the details, but I will find out and try to see how best for us to remedy that because that should not be happening at this day and age."
"There has to be a process of working things out. And we've tried as best we can to provide land for first -time landowners. Like, we've really gone hard at that. Lots of sleepless nights. Lots of late nights with our staff from the land department working overtime to try to ensure that we provide lands for our people."
"We can't really keep up with the demand."
