The MEC informed the delegation that the North West Housing Corporation was a great challenge that was delaying the delivery in the province. He further informed the delegation that the decision was taken to wind-down the corporation, but not all the necessary steps were taken into account. The Corporation was formed through the Provincial Act, which was not repealed and no documents were available. Properties that were bought by individual persons were never transferred to the owners and there were no title deeds issued. The report received indicated that one house was sold to more than three people by unregistered estate agents. It was alleged that an individual bought the whole township for R2 million of which proper documents were not found. The North West Housing Corporation had appointed unregistered and scrupulous company to sell houses for it and the money never reached the Corporation. In some instances an individual purchased two townships with one cheque. 4.2 Presentation by the Head of Department, Mr T Mokhatla
