31 July 2017 - NW1986
Hoosen, Mr MH to ask the Mr M H Hoosen (DA) asked the Minister of Public Works
Why does his department rent the building that houses the Mbombela Home Affairs offices situated between Brander Street and Henshall Street in Nelspruit from a private land owner?
Reply:
The Department is leasing the building situated between Brander and Henshall Street in Mbombela on behalf of Department of Home Affairs. The building is required and the space was procured in line with the needs of the Department of Home Affairs. The leased building was procured as there was no owned property suitable and available to meet the needs of the Department of Home Affairs. It must be noted that the Department of Public Works has plans to develop a precinct in Nelspruit, which will meet the requirements of User Departments.
