A total of 923 government officials at national and provincial level have been brought to book by the human settlements department's crackdown on corruption, Minister Tokyo Sexwale said.
"We are hot on the steps of other people in government," Sexwale said at a housing settlement meeting in Boksburg, Johannesburg.
"We cannot allow people to turn the poor into a business. This is morally reprehensible."
He said his department was not just "mouthing slogans", but "giving teeth" to its drive to root out corruption.
Five members of the legal fraternity had also been struck of the roll for housing corruption.
The meeting was held to build a partnerships between the government and private sector in the drive to build sustainable housing settlements in the country.
