Renting RDP Homes Worries Municipality

The Buffalo City Metro Municipality has received a number of complaints about recipients of RDP houses profiting illegally from their subsidised homes.

The municipality spokesperson, Samkelo Gqeba, points out that, "As part of its housing education campaigns, the metro discourages people from selling or renting because this impacts negatively on government's efforts to curb informal settlements."

Gceba states that of major concern is what is going to happen when work is finally complete on two major housing projects in the metro.
