A housing project by the eThekwini municipality has been received with mixed emotions.

This after the municipality announced that the low cost houses will be allocated based on racial quotas.

The project will provide homes in four areas.

The Newlands project will be allocated on the basis of 45 percent black, 25 percent Indian, 35 percent coloured, 5 percent other; in KwaMashu it will be 25 percent black, 35 percent Indian, 35 percent coloured, 5 percent other; in Chatsworth and Westville Triangle 50 percent black, 35 percent Indian and 15 percent other (coloured included).

IOL has asked readers what they think about the planned project.
