Vryburg-MEC for Human Settlements Public Safety and Liaison Nono Maloyi will on Tuesday hand over about 600 houses to families in Vryburg ext 25.

The hand over is part of the MEC’s programme of officially handing over 8000 houses to beneficiaries across the province in 60 days.

“Vryburg is one of the areas where most of its residents were staying in informal settlements while others were evicted from local farms. Those who worked in farms have never stayed in proper houses before” departmental spokesperson Mokotedi Bole said.

Among beneficiaries there are elderly women with grand children.

According to Maloyi the handover programme is part of the 20 years of democracy celebrations and restoration of dignity among the community of Vryburg and Naledi municipality who continued to live in shacks along the N18.
