Human Settlements Minister Tokyo Sexwale on Wednesday said he will be meeting with his senior management officials to study reports from the nine provincial MECs on how they plan to deal with the housing backlog.
The Free State, KwaZulu-Natal and Western Cape have been named as the biggest under-spenders on housing developments.
Sexwale earlier briefed MPs on the issue. He said that with 2,700 informal settlements in the country, under-spending cannot be allowed.
The minister has demanded to see turn-around strategies from all the MECs.
“There are those which are leading; there are those which are in the middle like Gauteng and so on and there are those which are lagging behind, which is Free State and the Western Cape."
He added that they have demanded to know what each of the provinces’ recovery plans are.
