Port Moresby's ghetto

 Don't mess with life.

You can be reduced to such a life living under a make shift shelter hidden in a corner at a street in prime location like Boroko.



Life is a struggle.


Port Moresby doesn't have reliable statistics about homeless ness and ghetto squatting.


But people like police officers and private security personnel who work into nights and mornings know very well what life is for many struggling Port Moresby inhabitants. 


Many of these people survive through informal sales of betel nut and cigarettes.


There could be drugs sold under discrete business deals, just in the name of survival.


The National Housing Corporation has come under spotlight by commentators. 

The big issue. What has it done to address housing woos in the country.


In metropolitan areas like Port Moresby and Lae- affording a decent home is challenging.


Families are living in one bedroom renting at K300 per fortnight (USD 100.00)

This is what struggling  families are enduring.


If one is on a K50,000 per annum salary, you can not afford a decent home.
