With the on-going challenge of lack of housing and migration, Johannesburg Excretive Mayor Herman Mashaba believes the social housing development scheme will play a key role in tackling housing obstacles.
Mashaba along with MMC for housing Meshack Van Wyk and ward councillor, the Board of Directors, Chief Executive Officer for JOSHCO Dlamini launch the start of Lufhereng social housing development at Lufhereng Extension 1.
The Lufhereng social housing development will kick start in ERF 2136 which is set to have 24 buildings consisting of two and three storey walk-ups apartment blocks which will provide 407 rental units for people with a gross earning R1 500 to R150 000 per month.
“This project enables us to build affordable quality houses that people can afford because we are challenged by migration and Joburg is not the only affected city but I believe that we are doing well in Joburg and I wish other cities can implement this project,” he continued.
“This project will benefit the community members of Lufhereng including with jobs everything has to be transparent and if otherwise we should be held to account,” said Mashaba.
EFF PR councillor Johannes Masehla requested community members to protect this project as it stands to benefit them and also touching on the method used to allocate houses.
“This must be done differently from the past we can’t have houses built and people having to wait for over five years before they are allocated houses,“ said Masehla.
The project forms part of ‘Mixed Integrated Housing Development’ and the project is estimated to take a period of 24 months.
