The Western Cape Human Settlements Department yesterday reported that a number of measures have been put in place to prevent dodgy building suppliers and contractors operating in the Western Cape.

Western Cape Human Settlements MEC Bonginkosi Madikizela met with Khayelitsha residents on Monday, after some housing projects were recently unblocked.

The MEC’s  spokesperson Bruce Oom says the people that suffer are those who need houses the most.

Oom says the MEC made two changes one is insuring that theirdepartment’s signs contract directly with the suppliers and the builders.
