This came out at a report-back meeting lead by Msunduzi mayor Mzimkhulu Thebolla and speaker Eunice Majola, with city's senior housing unit officials on Wednesday.Last Thursday, tensions came to head when a group of disgruntled residents brought the city to its knees by burning tyres and blockading the city's Masukwana and Church streets.Senior housing official Phumlani Gumede told residents that, after consulting the provincial government, they were now able to provide time frames.
'' To circumvent that, we have now formed a steering committee which brings together all people from the settlement. If we all agree that the identified people are indeed from this area then they are going to get the flats,” said Gumede. “I know this is the inevitable issue that we would have to tackle especially as people need to take occupation of some of the structures while the next phase of the project is under way,” said Gumede.
''Some have said that they have been living in temporary structures since 2009. We take responsibility for the past,” said Gumede.“If people really accede to using temporary structures, it will help in speeding the next phase of the project as the building contractor was gearing up to start working on-site,” said Gumede.
