Minister Sexwale must launch enquiry into NHBRC
Over the last three months, I have visited housing developments across the country to assess the quality of RDP housing being delivered to South Africans.
Today I visited Lekwa, Govan Mbeki and Victor Khanye Municipalities in Mpumalanga, along with a DA delegation, to assess the quality of the RDP housing in these areas.
Poor workmanship remains a defining characteristic of government-funded developments.
The inferior quality of the developments I have visited in KwaZulu-Natal, Gauteng, the Eastern Cape and Mpumalanga raises serious questions around the capacity of the National Home Builders Registration Council (NHBRC) to protect housing consumers from poor workmanship.
The NHBRC is the regulatory body of the home building industry.
