RDP houses fall short of minister’s targets

Dyantyi blames bureaucracy – but depiste this, he is not reluctant to make more promises - he has vowed to build 25,000 housing units a year to curb the province’s 300,000 backlog. One of the elated beneficiaries is Nomakhephu Mkhosi (82) was one of 115 people handed keys to their new homes in Mandela Park. She applied for a government subsidised house eight years ago.

Mkhosi says she was initially sent from pillar to post and had almost given up hope. “I am very happy to receive this house.” says Mkhosi. But there are still many more waiting for houses and Dyantyi has promised 500 houses by December -or resign.

Dyanti says: “Today we are giving less than 500 houses, so surely it is a disappointment to them.” SABC
