RDPs Allocated to Legitimate Beneficiaries – Govt

The Gauteng Department of Human Settlements says the RDP houses in the Alexandra Township, north of Johannesburg, have been allocated to ‘bona fide’ South Africans.

In his reaction to accusations by residents of that township that foreigners are being allocated houses ahead of locals, the department spokesperson, Motsamai Motlhaolwa, points out that, “We understand the frustration of the waiting people but it does not justify using threats and inciting xenophobia.”

Motlhaolwa states that the MEC has invited people to bring evidence forward that proves people living in the houses are foreigners, as a result no one has ever come forward.
