Niall Mellon is a fraud. He has an ego the size of Africa and continues to fly 1st class to south africa every time he visits his holiday home there….all at the expense of the charity which pays for this…….I bet the little old ladies having cake sales for him don’t know this !!!

what is your source for the claim that the residents don’t want “the blacks” there?
Of course it is “their” area – i.e. it is the area belonging to the people who live there! the Hout Bay residents aren’t upset about black people living there – they are upset that there are so many, living in an area that cannot sustain such population growth without infrastructure.
Mellon himself is a wealthy “white” person and would no more want squatters on his(substantial) land that anyone else – which is why it is easy for him to come to South Africa and act in such a sanctimonious manner. If you read interviews with him, he berates the South African government’s excellent building programme – in spite of the fact that two million homes have been built since 1994. You South Africans should be proud of what the government has done.
