“If we were to do effective rectification, we would require R58-billion – that is not for building, just for rectification,” the director-general of the Department of Human Settlements, Thabane Zulu, told a parliamentary portfolio committee.
But since minister Tokyo Sexwale said six weeks ago that he had set aside R1.3-billion to fix sub-standard houses this year, the new estimate of R58-billion came as a shock to MPs.
Well, a wise man once said that it is better to measure ten times and cut once than to measure once and cut ten times.
Cutting corners always costs more than doing something right the first time.
