Call to Address Housing Problem

Human Settlements Minister Tokyo Sexwale has called on businesses to get involved in government's efforts to address the backlog of 2.1 million houses.

Sexwale promised to talk to the financial sector to create new forms of finance and access to finance for the unbanked.

Sexwale further said that his department wants to move from what he calls "RDP things" and provide homes, not just houses. He was making reference to small government-provided houses.
