North West MEC for Human Settlements, Public Safety and Liaison Nono Maloyi accompanied by the Mahikeng Local Municipality Executive Mayor Lina Miga, will officially launch the Mahikeng Community Residential Units (CRU) at Extension 39. The 100 units’ project is expected to improve the living conditions of the people of Mahikeng and further reduce the housing backlog in the province.
This project is yet another service delivery target set by MEC Maloyi during his budget policy for this financial year. The CRU’s are aimed to facilitate the provision of secure, stable rental tenure for lower income earners and provides a coherent framework for dealing with many different forms of existing public sector residential accommodation.
It targets persons and households earning between R800 and R3 200 per month who are not able to be accommodated in the formal private rental and social housing market. Members of the media are invited to be part of the launch.
The event will unfold as follows:
Date: Saturday, 12 October 2013
Time: 09h00
Venue: Project site - Mahikeng (next to Extension 39)
