N2 Gateway Project resumes

The Western Cape Human Settlements Department on Monday said the construction of the N2 Gateway Project is back on track, despite initial delays.

Construction of 1,390 homes in Crossroads is going ahead after residents chased contractors away on three separate occasions.

Aggrieved locals apparently felt excluded from the project, which started in July 2010.

Before Western Cape Human Settlements MEC Bonginkosi Madikizela could leave Crossroads on Monday, residents stopped him to discuss the Boys Town Housing Project.

The MEC said they have done their best to address all concerns raised.

He said construction was already eight months behind schedule, which was costing the provincial government more money.

Madikizela recently admitted that some 500,000 people are waiting for decent housing in the Western Cape.
