MEC for Local Government and Housing Richard Dyanti’s department will rectify poorly built houses around the Cape Flats.

The rectification of houses is a national housing programme that seeks to rectify defects in respect of municipal services and top structural defects. This programme is aimed at houses that were delivered from 15 March 1994 to 31 March 2002. This programme excludes houses that were delivered before 15 March 1994, those that were delivered after 31 March 2002 and the increase of the size of a subsidized unit.

Included in the programme for rectification are 2473 houses that were built by the Cape Town Community Housing Company (CTCHC) in 2000, in nine different villages. These include the areas of Heideveld, Pylon, Railay, Newfields, Luyoville, Phillipi ,Woodridge, Mannenberg, and central Mitchell's Plain.
