Western Cape Housing MEC Bonginkhosi Madikizela has warned if something drastic is not done it could take 28 years to address the housing backlog in the province.
He addressed nearly 100 delegates at an international conference in Cape Town on Wednesday.
The province has a housing shortage of nearly 500 000 units.
Madikizela said with an annual 17 percent migration rate to the Western Cape, the housing backlog would only get worse.
He conceded housing delivery was moving at a slow pace and said a concerted effort was needed to tackle the challenge.
