Giving poor people free houses is not a sustainable plan, says the Western Cape MEC for housing, and it's time for the national government to rethink its policy in this regard.
Housing MEC Bonginkosi Madikizela said it was time for the government to take a long, hard look at how it delivered housing. He said the approach to housing delivery was doing a lot for a few.
"If we were in the business of providing people with cars, we would be giving one person a Rolls-Royce when we could be giving 10 people Citi Golfs."
An up-to-date study put the housing backlog in the province near 500 000.
