The Housing Development Agency will assume sole responsibility for the delivery of basic services to informal settlements in Khayelitsha, Cape Town, human settlements minister Mmamoloko Kubayi announced on Friday.
“In March, the minister transferred R111m to the city of Cape Town to speed up service delivery interventions. The funds were specifically ring-fenced to provide the services for the 16 informal settlements and to address the Prasa railway line relocations, after the city said it had no funds.
Nhlabathi-Mokota said it was the third time a meeting of this nature had taken place with the dwellers and their representatives. “Community representatives said that in some areas, the ratio was as high as 1:15 — meaning that 15 families are using one ablution facility.”
