Human Settlements MEC Bonginkosi Madikizela has said his department is striving to develop all future housing with green technology.
Madikizela addressed delegates from across the globe at the annual International Housing Conference in Cape Town on Monday.
This year’s conference is focusing on renewable energy technology used in current and future human settlements.
Madikizela has urged South Africans to become more environmentally aware.
He said with the current resources available to his department, it could take up to 30 years to address the housing backlog, but through the use of green technology such as solar power, future housing developments will meet international standards.
Energy Department spokesperson Bheki Khumalo said it would be joining hands with the Human Settlements Department and emphasised it was important the country starts using renewable energy instead of relying solely on coal power.
