Gauteng Human Settlements MEC Jacob Mamabolo will on Monday 21 September 2015 launch a ward based housing audit to physically verify all incomplete and blocked housing projects across Gauteng.
The aim of the verification audit of these incomplete and blocked housing projects is to find remedial actions to put finality and complete these projects. Abandoned and unattended projects have consistently been a cause for concern amongst thousands for Gauteng citizens and with the ever growing housing need, it is only prudent to document these, find remedies for completion, and assure people of Gauteng that their turn to benefit from such projects is receiving attention from the Gauteng Provincial Government.
To kick-start the audit process of such incomplete projects, on Monday MEC Mamabolo will hand over an incomplete project in Alexandra Ext 31 to a contractor who will wrap up the project and hand it over back to the Department for allocations to beneficiaries.
Details of the launch are as follows:
1. Official launch of the audit process at Riverpark Housing Project in Alexandra
