During the budget speech made by the Western Cape MEC for Local Government and Housing, Richard Dyantyi in June this year, Dyantyi committed his department to the improvement of poorly built houses.

The rectification of houses is a national housing programme that aims to correct defects in terms of municipal services. This programme is intended for houses which were delivered from the March 15, 1994 until March 31, 2002.

The National Home Builders Registration Council was asked to conduct a review of all units within the Heideveld, Pylon, Railway, Newfields, Luyoloville, Phillipi, Woodridge, Mannenberg and Town Centre.

Engagements with all the affected communities as well as the stakeholders have already started.

“The MEC will meet with the leadership and community of Newfields in Hanover Park regarding this programme,” says Dyantyi’s spokesperson Vusi Tshose.

The meeting will take place today at 3pm at the Lansport Community Centre, Lansport Road, Newfields.
