N1 Housing project newsring completion

The unsightly informal settlements and backyard shacks that greet visitors to Cape Town along the highway from the airport should soon be a thing of the past. The N2 Gateway housing project that will house more than 21-thousand households currently living in the shacks is nearing completion. Minister of Housing Lindiwe Sisulu admits the project had caused a number of headaches but says she is excited by the fact that it is eventually nearing completion. Most of the 750 houses in the first phase of the project are already complete. Sisulu said her department would wait until all the structural work had been completed before handing over the houses.
