Reply:
a) The Department of Water and Sanitation is currently not building or planning to build houses for officials of the department in the North West. It should be noted that in the course of preparing for construction of dams or water treatment plants, and as part of the broader project, a few houses are built to accommodate maintenance staff. However, I have been advised that there is no major construction project that is currently underway in the North West Province, where the Department of Water and Sanitation is building houses for this purpose.
b) Falls away.
c) Falls away.
d) Falls away.
