The delegation was informed that there were approximately 4 500 shacks in the area and approximately 20 families had been relocated to a transitional camp. The original site had 1 500 sites according to the town plan layout. The process of densification had begun and the department had built double- storey houses due to insufficient space. The building of double-storey houses was costly as each house needed an additional amount of R20 000 because of the decking that had to be fitted between the lower and upper floors. One hundred and eighty double-storey houses were built. A challenge was experienced with the subsidy amount that had not changed. Communities were co-operative even though the rate of delivery was slow.
