Human settlements, public safety and liaison MEC in the North West, Nono Maloyi, said compared to their counterparts across the country, his department has taken the lead in spending conditional grants intended to build low cost houses and urged developers in the province to build more quality houses.

Speaking during the recent departmental provincial developers forum in Mahikeng, Maloyi said to contractors: “You should keep up the good work. We are the number one province in the country, leading the province placed second by 10% and that says we are indeed spending well and are on target

“It is important for you (contractors) to stick to your delivery schedule and don’t just build shoddy houses targeting delivery schedule, we need quality houses,” he said.

Maloyi said the North West was commended for spending the grants during the meeting between human settlements MECs and Housing Minister Tokyo Sexwale.
