The MEC for CoGHSTA, Mr Jerry Ndou, recently presented RDP houses to residents of Majosi in Hlanganani.
Twenty-eight beneficiaries received houses, including young people from destitute environments and families from the Collins Chabane Municipality.
Ndou acknowledged the intervention by the provincial government in assisting poverty-stricken families. "Today, this family of four, through the intervention of the department, has a proper roof over their heads and these kids will have a proper upbringing," said Ndou.
One of the beneficiaries, Miss Confidence Ngobeni, said that her life and those of her three siblings were going to change for the better. "I am happy that the municipality took us out of an isolated life. We lived in fear with my two brothers and sister because when it rained the whole house became flooded. I am thankful for the intervention of our government and ward councilor, Mr Dorgen Ndove, who made it possible for us to have a better house to call home," said Ngobeni.
Ndove promised to deliver better services and fulfil the needs of the disadvantaged people in the community. "We are going to have these kinds of project in Majosi and all surrounding areas within our ward. We seek to establish projects that will be of great help to the needy."
