White families living in shacks and caravan parks in the East London area are not excluded from government's housing programmes because of their race, the Eastern Cape Department of Human Settlements said on yesterday.

Spokesperson Lwandile Sicwetsha said a number of families who were living below the poverty line had complained to the government because they thought, that they did not qualify for housing.

Sicwetsha says some white families are living in shacks close to the beach and in caravan parks beside dumps.
