The project was part of the cross boarder project between Northern Cape and North West. The project started in 2002 with 900 units. After the demarcation, the area was handed over to Northern Cape. Records reflect that 578 houses in Pampierstad were being subjected to rectifications due to shoddy workmanship. In the same housing project in Pampierstad, it was evident that contractors were contravening norms and standards e.g. there were no aprons on the outside walls and the inside walls were merely backwashed and not plastered. It was evident that the provincial department therefore runs the risk of conducting rectifications upon rectifications if the matter was not attended.
