State of the province address - is far from the truth.

With a backlog of 400,000 for housing, Rasool said the province can meet the demand by 2014. He said, though, that government is prepared to handle this situation.

“Seventy-nine percent of those needing houses earn less that R1 500 per month. However, MEC for local government and housing, Richard Dyantyi is poised to receive an average of R1.2 billion from government a year”, said Rasool.

InternAfrica is firm in the understanding that the Western Cape Provincial government is incapable of addressing the housing / habitat crisis in the Western Cape.
