Work has commenced on more than 250 homes damaged during devastating storms around Durban in December.
Nyawose led an intervention programme that committed R19.5m towards building materials, food and other necessities for those families in Ntuzuma a week after the storm. He said it was important that the community work together to ensure that the project serves the intended beneficiaries without hiccups or delays once it starts.
“We will meet officials from housing to find out the criteria they used to determine houses affected by storm that need to be fixed and those that don't, or if they have a programme to start with certain houses before going to others, depending on the damage."
