MEC Bentley Vass, accompanied by the Joe Morolong Local Municipality Mayor, Councillor Dineo Leutlwetse-Tshabalala, the John Taolo Gaetsewe District Speaker, Councillor Ikgopoleng Aiseng, Kgosi Motshwarakgole, Kgosi Seneo, and Councillors from the Joe Morolong Local Municipality, recently handed over sixty-one (61) houses to beneficiaries of the 1 Billion Rand Housing Project, in the John Taolo Gaetsewe District.<\/p>\n
Keys to these houses were handed over to beneficiaries in four villages in the Joe Morolong Local Municipality, namely Madibeng (10), Perth (10), Lotlhakajaneng, and Segwaneng (41).<\/p>\n
MEC Vass said \u201cToday marks an important milestone for the people of the John Taolo Gaetsewe District. The 61 houses we handed over reflect our commitment to fast-tracking human settlements delivery across the province. Every completed house restores dignity, provides security and comfort, and represents a tangible improvement in the lives of our people\u2019\u2019.<\/p>\n
An 83-year-old beneficiary Ms Kelebogile Griet Olyn, in Madibeng village, who could not hide her excitement as she opened her house, said \u2018\u2019This has been a lifelong dream to own a properly built house, and to move out of this mud-house, that was always posing serious danger to my life and well-being.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n
The Mayor of Joe Morolong Local Municipality, Councillor Dineo Leutlwetse-Tshabalala, expressed her gratitude on behalf of the Council of the Municipality, and all the beneficiaries, about the good quality houses built for the people of Joe Morolong Municipality, particularly in the four villages.<\/p>\n
She said \u2018\u2019This is what cooperative governance ought to look like, in that all the three spheres of government work in tandem for the benefit of our people, especially the poor and those based in rural areas. We continue to call on the Department of COGHSTA to ensure that all other houses are completed so that we hand over the keys to more beneficiaries in the new year\u2019\u2019.<\/p>\n
The Department’s approach is to hand over completed houses as soon as they are ready, to avoid vandalism, while work continues to build the rest of the houses at each project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
