North West Department of Human SettlementsThe South African Human Rights Commission has determined that the North West Department of Human Settlements violated the right to adequate housing.

According to the SAHRC, complaints received since 2011 revealed systemic and widespread issues affecting municipalities across the North West. The Commission attributed the challenges to inadequate oversight by the provincial Treasury and the Office of the Premier, citing poor planning and contractual disputes as key factors behind the abandoned projects.

Motshabi says, “I had to rebuild the shack twice. It was blown away by the strong winds twice. I had to request our neighbours to help me rebuild it after people told me that my mother was living in the streets because her shack got blown away.”
