N2 Gateway controversy continues

The controversy around the N2 Gateway housing project is far from being resolved. The project seems to be embroiled in bureaucratic red tape, despite the fact that several houses have been handed over to their new owners with fanfare exactly a week ago.

The first five families that were scheduled to move into their new homes have still not moved in. They families say the reasons given to them was that incomplete paperwork was preventing their occupation.

Meanwhile, the Western Cape department of local government and housing issued a statement saying that the beneficiaries said they need more time. The beneficiaries have, however, disputed this and say they do not understand the reason for the delay. SABC
