On Monday, the department handed over some new homes to beneficiaries on Gauteng's West Rand.
Gauteng's Human Settlements MEC Lebogang Maile says it’s not just about building houses but also making sure communities receive the necessary services.
The MEC and Minister are doing a walkabout of the project and engaging the team on the progress on site. The project has 12800 housing opportunities. 3500 units have already been occupied. #GrowingGautengTogether #HumanSettlements pic.twitter.com/SbBMgC189b
