Western Cape Human Settlements MEC Bonginkosi Madikizela on Friday echoed the national minister's comments that free housing would not be available, forever.
Madikizela handed over 62 Plettenberg Bay homes earlier as part of a project comprising more than 1,000 units.
Sexwale said in September that the solution to the country's backlog of 2.3 million homes did not lay in providing homes free of charge.
Madikizela said the qualifying criteria for a government home needed to be re-examined.
“We are going to be stricter now in making sure that we give these houses to people with special needs because we are facing a daunting task of housing everybody that is on the waiting list,” he said.
