Question NW610 to the Minister of Human Settlements
25 April 2022 - NW610
Mokgotho, Ms SM to ask the Minister of Human Settlements
By what date will the Reconstruction and Development Programme houses in ward 6 in Mamusa Local Municipality that were started in 2015, but left incomplete be completed?
Reply:
According to the response received from the Provincial Department of Human Settlements, It is anticipated that the houses will be concluded by 31 December 2022. However, it must be mentioned that since the inception of the project, two contractors have been appointed, one in 2015 and the second one in 2017, both abandoned the project. The project currently has the following milestones:
- 121 Foundations,
- 79 Wall plates and
- 10 Completed units
The Department has since allocated its internal Inspectors, NHBRC, and the Planning Unit through the assistance and appointment of a Quantity Surveyor to further ascertain the milestones on the ground and determine the costs before the appointment of another contractor.
