RDP houses not weathering the storm

Residents of the Cyril Ramaphosa settlement in George are up in arms over the state of their reconstruction and development programme (RDP) houses. Some of the houses have developed big cracks. Poor drainage in the area has also exacerbated the effect of the recent flooding.

Residents say the municipality is also not heeding their calls, but the local authority says it is already looking into the problem.

Cyril Ramaphosa consists of more than 1 000 houses built on uneven terrain. Scores of houses were flooded recently and this prompted some residents to make holes in their houses to get rid of the water… - SABC
