More than 60,000 people in five provinces have been failed twice by the government in 14 years because they still don’t have a proper roof over their heads.
These citizens still live in shacks despite the fact that Housing Minister Lindiwe Sisulu set R2 billion aside three years ago to finish houses, which were promised to them in 1994.
The City Press yesterday said political analysts laid the problem at the door of the ANC and infighting, which had distracted officials from their service delivery mandate.
In some provinces slabs were laid for homes but the houses were never built.
Corruption has eaten into some projects where unscrupulous developers were paid but houses were never built.
National Housing spokesman Xolani Xundu said some projects had been blocked because contractors claimed they hadn’t been paid when, in fact, they had.
The department said it had asked the national treasury for more money to complete outstanding projects. - The Citizen
