Best Woman Contractor in the country was awarded to L& R Welding and Tools Suppliers for housing development project in Manthe and Tlapeng in Taung while the Best Enhanced Peoples Housing Project awarded to Tlhabangani Trade Enterprise was in recognition of the sterling work on the housing development in Welverdien and Ga-Motlatla.
“We commend MEC Maloyi, Human Settlement stakeholders, all contractors and employees of his department who through their tireless effort contributed towards the province delivering 14331 housing units and being declared the best performing province in housing delivery across the country during the 2012/13 financial year,” highlighted Modise .
The Premier said that she is confident that the department will use its R1.4 billion allocation for the current financial year to meet its target of building 15 000 new housing units with access to clean water and decent sanitation.
The Provincial government has in line with President Jacob Zuma’s commitment made during his State of the Nation Address allocated R27 million for the implementation of the Financial Linked Individual Subsidy Programme in Seraleng within the Rustenburg Local Municipality.
The money allocated for the programme is intended to assist the homeless who earn too much to qualify for low cost housing and earn too little to qualify for bond stock.
