Period: |
1998 to March 2002 |
| The objective of the projects was
to provide quality housing to 26 000 beneficiaries in several villages
in the Limpopo Province in accordance to the Guidelines provided
by the Department of Local Government and Housing. Formal housing
projects were provided with services such as water reticulation
networks with metered communal standpipes or yard connections, internal
sewer networks consisting of small bore or full waterborne sewer
systems and in some instances with on-site sanitation options, internal
roads and stormwater drainage. |
 |
All services were designed
according to the minimum requirements, as laid down by DWAF, SABS
and the "Guidelines for the provision of Engineering Services
and Amenities" in Residential Township Development as published
by the CSIR and issued by the Department of National Housing and
the National Housing Board. Houses were planned and implemented
strictly in accordance with SABS and NHBRC guidelines. |
Community involvement:
As a first priority, project steering committees (PSC's) were established
and liaison with the Local Municipalities took place before any
work commenced in a village or Municipal region. The success of
these housing projects was definitely due to active involvement
from all the stakeholders mentioned above. |
 |
| Labour matters were addressed by the PSC's,
which ensured sound labour relations on the different sites. This
in turn led to increased productivity and ensured commendable delivery
by the Province in the housing sector. |
