Mashaba lambasts MEC Uhuru Moiloa over reduction in housing grant
19 December 2018
City of Johannesburg Mayor Herman Mashaba has lambasted Gauteng MEC Uhuru Moiloa about the reduction of the Human Settlements Development Grant (HSDG) for the municipality.
"Earlier this year, the provincial government, without warning or reason, reduced the City's Human Settlements Development Grant funding by R180m for the current financial year.
"Today, the MEC bizarrely claimed that the reason for withdrawing the funding was as a result of the City not paying developers, not completing projects and failing to communicate with provincial government," he said.
Moiloa is the MEC for Cooperative Governance and Human Settlements.
