National Minister of Housing Lindiwe Sisulu and Gauteng Housing MEC Nomvula
Mokonyane will officially hand over a special home to disabled 18 year old
Refilwe Makau in Alexandra. Makau who was born without legs has been struggling
to find a suitable place to stay. The Department of Housing and a number of
sponsors came together to build her a house.
The department aims to use Refilwe's sponsored case to create awareness
about the plight of the disabled, how special homes for the disabled are
catered for by the Department of Housing, and how the additional subsidy for
disabled beneficiary needs can be accessed.
The event will take place as follows:
