A major national construction company responsible for building approximately
2 000 RDP homes in Ugie, in the Eastern Cape, will return to the town on
Monday, 5 November following complaints about shoddy workmanship that were
raised during the recent Presidential Imbizo. Although the Ugie Project was a
provincial project, National Minister of Housing Lindiwe Sisulu was at the
Imbizo and promised the community the construction company would be sent back
to carry out remedial work.
On Monday Sisulu lives up to her word by returning to Ugie with the
construction company and the National Housing Building Regulations Council
(NHBRC), which will conduct an audit on the construction quality. The NHBRC is
expected to report back to Sisulu within two to three weeks. Sisulu will
address the Ugie community at about 11h00.
