PRESS STATEMENT BY MINISTER OF HOUSING: MS SANKIE MTHEMBI - NKONDO
On 18 January, I released the first report of the special task team appointed by me to speed up housing delivery. Meanwhile, I have consulted the National Housing Board and today I had a very constructive and productive meeting with the nine housing MEC's.
I am pleased to announce that I have accepted the report in full. I am confident that it will impact strongly on housing delivery.
As I leave for New York this afternoon to attend a preparatory meeting for HABITAT II, I have left my Director-General, Mr Cobbett, with instructions to proceed forthwith with preparations for implementation, so that immediately on my return a further meeting with the MEC's can be held to finalise their inputs and approve an implementation plan.
