W. Cape MEC slams vandalism of RDP houses

Western Cape Human Settlements MEC Bonginkosi Madikizela has labelled the vandalism of state-funded homes in Khayelitsha as acts of "hooliganism."

Disgruntled people from Mandela Park invaded RDP homes earlier this week, before they attempted to petrol bomb one unit.

They accused the authorities of sidelining them, by allocating 100 units to outsiders.

Madikizela said the housing allocation was done some years ago.

“Beneficiaries were identified years ago but because of the delays in the construction of their houses by Thubelitsha, we find ourselves in the situation where there’s a group claiming entitlement,” he said.
