Department of Human Settlements achieves less than half of annual housing targets
19 October 2022
The Department of Human Settlements has achieved a miserable 41.7% of their housing delivery targets in the past financial year.
According to the Department’s Annual Report which will be tabled in Parliament this term, the Department spent 97% of their budget, whilst achieving an overall result of 56% across all programmes.
On their Integrated Human Settlements Planning and Development Programme, which sees formal housing being rolled out across South Africa, the Department spent 99.3% against a dismal 41% performance.
This shocking performance is as a result of the ANC’s ongoing lack of political will to capacitate Provinces to deliver the very basics.
