A housing plan by the George municipality to build 2,500 houses will eradicate the Asazani informal settlement in Thembalethu by 2008. However the residents say this is probably just another empty promise.
A project to build 900 houses in the area was approved last year however the municipality decided to change the plan to create a bigger project. This has caused a delay in the delivery of housing. More than 5,000 people live in unbearable conditions in Asazani. The residents have been hard hit by the recent heavy rains.
It is expected that the installation of services for the project will commence by mid-2008. The housing project will cost R200 million. - SABC
