Mr Zulu gave a brief overview of the department. There was a need to look at the new strategy. The issue of capacity in relation to the new mandate was being addressed with the Minister. The department was still operating on the old setup, which was not influenced by the new mandate (operating as the Department of Housing). The department was in the process of reviewing housing legislation and policies to accommodate the human settlements mandate. The legal team has been mandated to embark on that process.
