Though over one million RDP houses have been built since 1994, the provincial backlog stands at a further one million.Immigration and a growing population are adding to the demand for housing in the country’s smallest province and after decades of dishing out RDP houses, authorities say they cannot make any guarantees.“We have to sort out the housing list and I believe in sorting out the list we have to prioritise the elderly, disabled and single mothers.
One hundred thousand serviced stands are to be made available for residents over the next five years. Recipients will be given 18 months to build their own homes. The department says it will also be approaching the courts for an order, to discourage illegal land invasions. While the department says that it has allocated its R6 billion budget to build other houses, existing contractors with unfinished houses will be black listed unless they complete their projects.
What....?
Unless money miraculously falls off trees - look at how the electricity backlog has already crippled Eskom and the country financially - 'Freedom for all does not mean everything is free for all'
Government must have housing data list before the RDP houses are build.
Stupid mayor,we as ANCsays that people must be given houses,subsides ,land for them to build their homes
