A group of disgruntled residents protested in Delft outside the gates of the area where Housing Minister, Lindiwe Sisulu, handed over a thousand homes to new beneficiaries.
The group accused the officials of overlooking them in the allocation of new houses. They were part of those who invaded about 2 000 unfinished houses in Delft last December.
A few minutes before the Minister arrived to hand over the homes to N2 Gateway beneficiaries, department officials struggled to stop protesters forcing their way through the gates. The protesters accused them of unsystematic allocation of houses. The officials convinced them to come to a meeting tomorrow where their grievances will be addressed.
While the new homes were handed over, other families are still without electricity. However, the department promised to strive to deliver a thousand new houses every month.
Meanwhile, there have been allegations that Eskom has underestimated the housing development in the area. Eskom denied the allegation, saying that the houses need to be properly wired first. - SABC
