Mabuza identified the families and promised them the housesAn overjoyed Phuthi Letsholo showed off the first bedroom she has ever owned with just her husband in her life. Letsholo shared a two-bedroomed shack and later a two-bedroomed house with her husband, children and grandchildren for most of her life.

“I have suffered and lived in a shack for many years, many people came and promised to build me a house but never came back. Mabuza came a few months ago and I now have a house. I am so happy.”Letsholo’s oldest daughter says it has been tough sharing limited space with her entire family. “There was no privacy in a two-roomed house and it mostly affected my parents,” says Letsholo’s oldest daughter.

Mabuza adds that though most of the beneficiaries qualify for government housing, private citizens, as well as the private sector, should also do their bit to help fight poverty. Mabuza also visited a female-owned garden in Seshego.Mabuza has sent his condolences to the family of slain Collins Chabane Municipality Mayor, Moses Maluleke.
