The Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Human Settlements in the municipality, Councillor Desi, led the delegation on a visit to a vacant site in St Albans located opposite St Albans Correctional Services. The site was purchased by Thubelisha and was set aside for the construction of 330 houses for people residing in Fitch's Corner informal settlements. It was later discovered that it was not suitable for human settlement development as it had water ponds. The municipality decided to sell the land to acquire money to purchase suitable land for the residents of Fitch's Corner, which were few kilometres from the settlement.
