Question NW2303 to the Minister of Public Works
05 November 2018 - NW2303
Gqada, Ms T to ask the Minister of Public Works
(1) With regard to the property of his department, Erf 2, Birchleigh Agricultural Holdings situated in Kempton Park, what does his department intend to do with the piece of land; (2) what steps have been taken to remove the persons who are allegedly living illegally on the said piece of land?
Reply:
(1) and (2) The property in question is under the custodianship of the Gauteng Provincial Government, which falls under another sphere of Government. Therefore, the National Department of Public Works is not in a position to respond to the question by the Honourable Member. The Honourable Member can through colleagues at the provincial legislature have the question posed to the Member of the Executive Council (MEC) responsible for Infrastructure Development in the Gauteng Province.
