RDP HOUSES NEED ATTENTION

RDP houses are built with cheap materials


RDP Houses
 Now the terrible state of RDP houses in the North West needs urgent attention, Public Protector Thuli Madonsela said on Thursday. "We have to remedy this situation as soon as possible together with the human settlements department and the municipalities," she said at a meeting with Klerksdorp residents.  People complained about the poor standard of construction and how they were told their houses were completed, only to find they had been given to other people. Beside that they are houses that collapsed in March this year. To date it has not been fixed though this matter it was reported to the department of human settlements. 

If the government is providing enough money for those houses then a serious investigation need to be done to stop those corrupt tenders. Because it seems like there is a breakdown of communication between the government and people who run those RDP tenders. Before we go further, what is the minister of Human Settlements saying about this matter, because this is a serious case, and if this houses keep on collapsing they might kill innocent people. It is an embarrassment to the Housing Department (or Human Settlements, as they now call themselves) and the Housing Divisions of municipalities that the Public Protector has to be involved in something they knew about all along!  http://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/Madonsela-RDP-houses-need-urgent-attention-20120802

 Its a shame on Human Settlements Department , for playing with the poor. What is your say on this case? If you need to debate this case further you can e-mail me at kimtim.tivani@gmail.com

    another government corruption case, will it ever stop, but with Thuli Madonsela on the case i have a feeling things will be done quickly, how can they just leave the state of the house just like that, kinda makes you wonder do the government really care about this country or they just looking out for their owb personal wallets?

    May the LIVING God bring a quick end to the existence of ANC and it's rule in South Africa, may He use his powerful spirit of fire to bring death of ANC and its spirit of corruption. May He also prevent The DA from ruling South Africa one day and destroy the satanic spirit of superior race that governs the DA. May he allow true democracy to the people to really elect their own leaders that they prefer. May all these happen for the love of the people of South Africa, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen. I must say that I am not suprised with such deed, this happens all over South Africa whereby poor people reamin poor because of greedy people, and letting poor people become homeless. Those who are corrupt shall be condemned. I am utterly disgusted by corruption and hope that the Public Protector will bring something us as soon as possible.

    South African government is corrupt in the sense that hey are aware that the constructors they employed to build this RDP houses are not using the proper and quality materials to build this houses but they are doin nothing in its power to resolve this matter or maybe they want people to loose their lives before attending to this matter?
