Western Cape Human Settlement MEC Bonginkosi Madikizela said his department is to probe how deeply rooted is the illegally selling of RDP houses in Samora Machel.
Recent investigations found around 230 homes were sold in violation of the national department’s pre-emptive clause, which prohibits the sale of state subsidy houses.
Madikizela said it also showed hundreds of residents are occupying homes illegally.
“Some of them have been living in those houses for a long time, I mean more than ten years but yet they are not in position of title deeds for those houses,” he said.
He revealed that they encountered a similar trend in surrounding townships.
“We have done a similar exercise in Mandela Park and also the investigation there revealed a number of cracks to us which we will have to tackle more or less the same way.”
