One of the gaping holes in the ANC’s 2019 elections campaign is its total lack of any demonstrable record of success in government under 10 years of Jacob Zuma. On almost every indicator, our country has been taken to the edge of a cliff by the ANC’s corruption and State Capture, with a disastrous impact on public finances, our sovereign credit rating, economic growth and unemployment.
When adding the 2018/19 delivery figures to the 188,000 opportunities of previous years, we arrive at the figure of more than 212,000 housing opportunities, in fact, closer to 215,000 on the yet-to-be-audited figures. So the ANC’s housing record in the Western Cape is about as flimsy as President Ramaphosa’s promise in Alexandra last week to build one million houses in that community, at a rate of over 540 a day.
These opportunities are aimed at the poorest residents, and will benefit among others, informal settlement dwellers along the N2 southern corridor in Cape Town, farm workers in Transhex and Vlakkeland , Belhar CBD and residents in the Southern Cape areas of Thembalethu, Wilderness Heights, Metro Grounds and Syferfontein .
We have also devised a path-breaking model for affordable housing that addresses the needs of residents in the gap market, those who do not qualify for a free house, but can make some sort of contribution to their housing. The national government also owns the largest, most well-located pieces of land for affordable housing in the Cape Metro. The Western Cape government has called on the Presidency to release this land, which is currently under-used and owned primarily by Transnet and the SANDF.
