The uThukela District Municipality had originally committed to supporting the housing project through the provision of bulk infrastructure, which allowed the Provincial Department of Human Settlements to proceed with the implementation of the housing project.
During the 2020/2021 financial year, however the uThukela District Municipality indicated it was no longer be in a position to honour its commitment. The district further requested that the Provincial Department of Human Settlements fund the bulk infrastructure.
The Provincial Department of Human Settlements is currently implementing the required bulk infrastructure, which is part of the District’s function.
The Provincial Department will complete the houses for beneficiaries to occupy.
