Kgalagadi housing within budget, time

In his keynote address at the council open day last Thursday, Southern District Council (SDC) chairperson, Leach Tlhomelang said despite the challenges KGDC had, it managed to succceed in the endeavour to construct the houses. The budget for the houses was P5,780,000 and the completion date was end of the current financial year. Out of the 88 houses, 10 were built in Khawa and were completed within a month.  Tlhomelang said that the council has not succumbed to the economic challenges that had a huge impact on the Revenue Support Grant (RSG) budget.

“As such, I am well informed that the council had to cut down on the maintenance of buildings and roads, hence it had to prioritise on essential services such as orphan car programme and poverty eradication programme,” he said.
