• University of Johannesburg students used a 3D printer to build a six-room RDP house in just a single day
• The Vice-Chancellor and Principal at the University of Johannesburg shared clips and pics of the creation online
• The people of Mzansi were both impressed and worried about the work as they know it will take people’s jobs

While Government struggles to build one three-room RDP house in a week, students from the University of Johannesburg built a six-room in just one day. Technology is changing things and the people of Mzansi want an explanation from Government as to what has been holding them up.
