REPLY
Dear Honourable member of the IFP, South Africa belongs to all who live in
it and we as government are responsible for all our citizens. Please allow
us to deal with the entire country and not only the hostel areas. I know
you are passionate about these areas and wish you would also be as
passionate about the entire country. Come along with us and build South
Africa.
Indeed, the government of the people has plans to build proper housing
structures in George Goch informal settlement.The George Goch informal
Settlement is part of the greater George Goch Hostel. The Gauteng
Department of Human Settlements plans to redevelop the hostel into family
units and also accommodate the residents of the informal settlement. The
feasibility study has been concluded and forwarded to the City of
Johannesburg Metropolitan municipality to be implemented as part of the
accreditation programme.
