The North West Department of Human Settlements said the first phase of the 103 constructed houses for the Deelpan residents, near Atamelang has been completed. The North West Department of Human Settlements spokesperson, Dineo Lolokwane said, the houses are part of the government’s integrated efforts to restore and rebuild Deelpan.

Lolokwane said this comes after it was engulfed by heavy rainfalls, resulting in over 75% of the village being submerged in water.

“Our obligation is to ensure that we restore the dignity of our people as enshrined in the constitution and the freedom charter. We therefore have delivered on the promise we made to the community of Deelpan.

“The official handover is planned to take place in the near future. The construction of the 103 housing units is the first phase of the project as announced by the acting North West Premier, Nono Maloyi during his State of the Province Address (SOPA),” she said.

 Lolokwane further said 317 houses will be built following the donation of land by Kgosi Kogodi Molete of Bakolobeng and his Traditional Council.

Recently, the Deputy Minister in the Presidency responsible for Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation, Pinky Kenana, visited the area to assess progress that has been made in addressing the aftermath of the devastating floods that struck the area in 2022.

Kekana expressed satisfaction on the progress made and also gave acknowledgement to the intervention team for their unwavering dedication they have shown to the project.

“We are very happy with the progress made in the wake of the floods, focusing on key interventions and initiatives. Notably, significant strides have been made in constructing the houses to provide shelter for those affected by the floods.

“Efforts are also underway to improve water and sanitation facilities, ensuring that the basic needs of the community are met,” she said.

An elderly woman, Matlakala Rapodile (67) from Lokaleng village, near Taung, has been staying in a shack for several years. Rapodile was one of the beneficiaries of 120 houses that were built by the North West Human Settlements. 

“I am happy to receive a proper house with basic amenities. As a pensioner and also a grandmother of two, the environment that I was staying in was health hazardous as the weather conditions have not been friendly. 

“I would like to thank the government for bringing change to my family life. We have been staying in this small shack and my grandchildren were also affected as they would have flu from time to time,” she said. 

Meanwhile, the acting North West Premier, Nono Maloyi said, the department has done it again. Maloyi said this time, the department handed over three houses to families led by elderly women that have been staying in shacks for years. 

“The department has thus far managed to complete 120 houses and continues to build 880 across villages in Taung. The government will continue to build houses for legible beneficiaries. 

“We further appeal to others who are still waiting for the construction of their houses to be patient. However, we assure them that, government has increased speed in delivering services across all municipalities, through the Thuntsha Lerole accelerated Service Delivery Programme,” he said. 

Maloyi further said, the government will continue to deliver on its mandate and change the lives of the people. He added that they do this to ensure they deliver as promised. 

“This is a government programme, not electioneering as others purport. We have also teamed with municipalities and local traditional authorities to ensure that we reach those families that need urgent services. 

“The partnership is continuing to register success on a daily basis. The department will continue to create sustainable human settlements as mandated by the constitution and further ensure that the dignity of all the people of the North West is held high,” said Maloyi. 

He said the department prides itself as the houses under construction continue to create jobs and skill among local community members.

A double murder case against Onkemetse Thaganyane (40), set to resume today at Schweizer Reneke Magistrate’s Court. Thaganyane, who is facing two counts of murder and two counts of attempted murder, is applying for bail after he was arrested on 19 March 2024.

The North West police spokesperson, Brigadier Sabata Mokgwabone said, Thaganyane allegedly shot and killed two people and injured two. Mokgwabone said, a confrontation ensued during a protest action at Extension 5, Ipelegeng Township in Schweizer Reneke.

“It is alleged that some members of the community demanded to be employed on a sewer pipeline project. During the confrontation, a shot was allegedly fired towards two construction vehicles, which were also pelted with stones, thus causing damage. 

“One of the construction vehicle drivers reportedly fired shots and in the process, a boy (11) and a man (33) were shot at. The minor died on the scene, while the man succumbed to injuries at Schweizer Reneke Hospital,” he said.

Mokgwabone further said in addition, two other men were taken to hospital due to serious injuries they sustained. He added that the police arrested the suspect and seized his firearm. 

Meanwhile, the North West Police Commissioner, Lieutenant General Sello Kwena, is shocked about the loss of lives and at the same time conveyed condolences to the deceased’s families. Kwena warned the public about the danger of violent protests, where even children and the innocent are often used.
