The DA is concerned about the manner in which the N2 Gateway Housing Project is being managed. The quality of its houses is in a shambles and it undermines human dignity. The project is riddled with poor workmanship, nonpayment of monthly rental fees by tenants, the collapse of infrastructure, subletting, and so the list goes on. My request to the Minister is that these deficiencies must be addressed with immediate effect.
Ndithunywa ngabantu baseJoe Slovo, phaya kwiifleti ezisecaleni ko-N2. Bathi mandikuxelele ukuba badiniwe kukuphathwa gadalala ngurhulumente kwaye ukuba uMphathiswa woBonelelo ngeeNdawo zokuHlala akenzi nto ngale nyewe, sakuqabuka sekophulwe. UMphathiswa ebekhe watyelela kwi-N2 Gateway, ngoko ke sifuna ukuqonda ukuba undawoni na malunga notyelelo lwakhe. Enkosi kakhulu. (Translation of isiXhosa paragraph follows.) [I have been asked by the residents of Joe Slovo, in the flats along the N2, to tell you that they are sick and tired of being ill-treated by the government and if the Minister of Human Settlements does not intervene, the worst might happen. We would like to know what progress has been made, as the Minister has visited the N2 Gateway. Thank you very much.]
