N2 Gateway Housing Project back on track - MEC

Western Cape Human Settlements MEC Bonginkosi Madikizela on Thursday reported that the N2 Gateway Housing Project will be back on track soon.

Madikizela has confirmed a further 3,000 housing units will be constructed in Delft.

The project has been mired in controversy for several years. Officials have been criticised for poor planning and insufficient consultation with residents.

The MEC previously admitted the project’s first phase was flawed.

However, he said the budget and plans for the next phase of construction are in place.

“If we were not delayed by the national minister, we had plans to actually go and do the ceremony tomorrow, because that is where we are. We’re done with the plans, the contractor is on site,” he said.
