The MEC

clear housing plan for the residents of Kayamnandi informal
settlement, near Stellenbosch in the Western Cape .
This
comes after about 4500 were left homeless in a fire that killed two people last
month.
Madikizela has been engaging
with the Stellenbosch Municipality and the community to find an immediate solution to the housing need of
the victims, along with a way to prevent a repeat of this disaster.
Ministry Spokesperson Bruce Oom said the
planning involves superblocks of shacks will be organised and road will be
build between them.
Oom added that at
the overtime the site will have a proper service installed.
"Minister Madikizela
is very happy that all the officials have worked very well together to ensure
that people will have informal housing as the winter approaches and the risk of
fires will be in due," said Oom.
