Mfuleni residents get new homes

An initiative by an Irish developer has resulted in more than 100 shack dwelling families, living in Mfuleini, being able to receive houses today.

The initiative had several hundred builders from Ireland spend a week in Cape Town building low cost houses.

MEC in the Western Cape for Housing Richard Dyantyi says in a statement this led to the unblocking of the Peoples Housing Process projects in Mfuleni.

A work force of more than 400 people from the township is employed to help with the building process.

The Niall Mellon Township Trust works year-round building houses for shack dwellers.
