the letter from the Speaker of Parliament, Baleka Mbete, in which she, on behalf of all MPs, congratulated you for among others, completing “over 200,000 housing opportunities”.
For the nine years since 2009, you have built on average 11,528 houses and provided 8,290 serviced sites — that is an average of 19,818 housing opportunities a year. I then looked at your previous state of the province addresses as well as the budget speeches delivered by Madikizela. What happened to the 21,000 housing opportunities? Did it disappear during that year or did he simply inflate the number because it was also during an election campaign?
Again, because it is three years after the projects were supposed to begin and because it seems as if you use housing optimally as an elections tool and inflate housing delivery depending on whether there would be an election that particular year or not, I cannot help but wonder, was this project only mentioned because it is an election year?
Wonder who is going to drawn stats from all the provinces housing scheme delivered with cart and transfer and waiting list per provinces....interested stats...
