Newly appointed Housing MEC Thobile Mhlahlo is being cagey about whether the R1,2 billion conditional grant for housing will be spent in the current financial year.
Answering a question from Pine Pienaar (DA) this afternoon, Mhlahlo declined to give a guarantee that the money would be spent, although he did say his department would do its best to ensure that it was – last year the Eastern Cape had to hand back R500 million of its conditional grant when it became clear it would not be able to spend it.
Mhlahlo did acknowledge that his department was not on track to spend the money at present saying it had spent 24 per cent of the R1,2 billion in the first five months of the financial year – underspending of about R143 million.
It doesn’t look good!

the model is wrong and they don't have the capability and capacity to build these houses.
