W.Cape housing delays due to poor monitoring - MEC

Western Cape Human Settlements MEC Bonginkosi Madikizela has admitted his department’s poor monitoring of housing projects has contributed to more than 30 projects being stalled.

Madikizela said the affected projects form part of the People’s Housing Process initiative.

The projects that have been put on hold have been referred to the Special Investigating Unit to be probed.

The MEC said fraud, corruption and collusion contributed to poor workmanship and delays in the provision of decent houses.

He also admitted a dismal lack of proper monitoring by government on these projects.

Madikizela said they are putting together a plan on how to better deal with the problem.
