A number of the unfixed houses are found in areas around Spot Five, KaMfayinda, Nazarene Section and areas around Ema-Twenty.The owners are uncertain as to when their houses will be fixed.

One of the still-waiting residents, Jerry Ngomane, told Mpumalanga News how he and his family spend sleepless nights during rainy days. He mentioned how he moves furniture around the house from one corner to the other when it rains.
“The rumour that the project has come to an end without some of our houses not fixed doesn’t sit well with us. I am unemployed and survive on piece seasonal jobs. The whole family depends on the grants we receive for our children from government. I cannot afford to fix the roofing on my own,” he said.
