Kubayi vows to investigate RDP housing allocations in Ekurhuleni Metro

By Akani Nkuna

Human Settlements Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi has vowed to crack down on the illegal allocation of RDP houses in Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality, targeting housing scams and corruption.

The announcement came as she handed over Breaking New Ground houses to vulnerable groups during the 16 Days of Activism for No Violence Against Women and Children campaign, running from November 25 to December 10, 2024.

“We acknowledge the complaints of wrongful allocation of houses in Ekurhuleni, which is not an uncommon thing in any of the metros across the country. So, I am going to appeal to the MEC and Mayor of Ekurhuleni to work together,” Kubayi told the community of Heldewyk who gathered to witness the handing over of the houses.

“We want to do an investigation across Ekurhuleni into the allegations and we are going to start here.”
