MEC Moiloa’s comments are misleading and unfortunate
18 December 2018
Today, I have noted the malicious and vexatious statement by the MEC for Gauteng CoGTA and Human Settlements, Dikgang Uhuru Moiloa, regarding the reduction of the Human Settlements Development Grant (HSDG) for the City of Johannesburg.
Earlier this year, the Provincial Government, without warning or reason, reduced the City’s Human Settlements Development Grant (HSDG) funding by R180 million for the current financial year.
Today, the MEC bizarrely claimed that the reason for withdrawing the funding was as a result of the City not paying developers, not completing projects and failing to communicate with provincial government.
The statement is grossly misleading and as a clear illustration of the MEC’s interest in playing politics rather than seeing to the housing needs of our residents.
