Western Cape Housing MEC Bonginkosi Madikizela says there is immense pressure on his department to speed up the delivery of homes.
In recent months, the province’s numerous housing initiatives have been plagued by problems and controversy.
Apart from the troubled N2 Gateway Project, the Western Cape Housing Department and city council have run into problems with various other programs.
This week the handing over of new homes in Athlone was cancelled because of complaints from some community members over the allocation process.
Last weekend angry Mandela Park residents vandalised over 40 newly-built houses in Khayelitsha.
Madikizela laid criminal charges against several people arrested in connection with the incident.
He expressed concern about the tendency of recipients of low-cost homes to sell the properties because they were desperate for money. - Eyewitness News
