The project started in 1996 with the building of 529 units as a People's Housing Process (PHP) project, through the Utshani Trust Fund. Under PHP management 167 top structures were completed, while 327 top structures were constructed by a contractor. To date, the project had 35 outstanding units. The project ceased operation in 2001 due to an investigation into the Utshani Fund. At the time of the visit, the municipality had advertised for a suitable candidate to take up the position of project manager to manage the process of unblocking the project, as well as other projects such as Highway and Civic Park.
