The North West Provincial Legislature conducted an oversight visit to Moretele Local Municipality, where members visited the Dikebu Village housing project. The Department has successfully completed the final 20 housing units, bringing the total number of completed houses to the approved 300 units.

The Department’s Regional Director for Bojanala, Mr Muzi Mashabane, briefed the Portfolio Committee on the progress of the project, noting that while there were minor challenges during implementation, the project has ultimately progressed well.

“The project initially encountered challenges due to the developer’s poor performance, which resulted in a difficult start. However, the situation improved significantly following the appointment of a highly skilled project manager to oversee the implementation of the project,” said Mashabane.

During the visit, one of the beneficiaries, Mr Martin Kotu, expressed his appreciation to the Department for completing his house.

“I am grateful that the Department completed my house on time, and I look forward to moving into my new home soon,” said Kotu.
