The national Department of Housing has so far built units for the Gateway project. The dwellers of Joe Slovo and Langa were expected to pay a rent expense of R500 but it now seems that they will have to pay an incredible amount of R1050
per month . The dwellers are not impressed as this amounts are high for them. The dwellers should attend a workshop before being give there key.
Dan Plato, the city's mayoral committee member announced yesterday that the fixed interest rate on municipal home loans of 13.5% could drop to 11%.
With that the people have more money .This will help tremendously so that they can pay there debts.
