Building companies will be forced to fix shoddy RDP houses in PE - minister
18 July 2016
Port Elizabeth – Shoddy RDP houses in the Nelson Mandela Metro will be fixed before the elections, Human Settlements Minister Lindiwe Sisulu has said.
The department would repair those houses it had built, while private sector construction companies would have to fix their defective homes, she said on the sidelines of an ANC Women’s League event in Nelson Mandela Bay on Sunday.
"Known contractors who built the shoddy houses, we will go get them and get them to fix the houses, even if we have to drag them by the scruff of their neck."
She said the party’s officials had been in the city to determine how the ANC could win the highly-contested Nelson Mandela Bay in next month’s local government elections.
