Housing Mess: How 28 beneficiaries were robbed in Voggelfontein

Staff reporter

Bethlehem – The Department of Human Settlements in the Free State is once again making headlines, albeit for the wrong reasons.

This follows a letter published by this publication revealing that the Dihlabeng Local Municipality intends removing Manurse Moloi from an allocated site for which she already holds a title deed.

Moloi deserves better, she was in the list of 2014.

Further investigations have exposed what appears to be possible collusion involving officials within the Department of Human Settlements.

MaTshabalala has also been waiting and her husband is now late. This is how ANC led government is treating blacks people.

WATCH

A leaked housing allocation letter shows that a 36-year-old beneficiary received a house while pensioners who have been on the waiting list since 2014 continue to wait for assistance.

Residents have praised Mmamoloko Kubayi for her intervention during her tenure as Minister of Human Settlements, which resulted in some families finally receiving houses. However, since then it’s Chai.

To date, no one has been held accountable, with the National Prosecuting Authority reportedly deciding not to pursue prosecutions in relation to the matter.

Challenges in Voggelfontein reflect broader failures within the Free State Department of Human Settlements, leaving many qualifying beneficiaries without adequate housing despite years on waiting lists.

About 28 beneficiaries were affected after manipulation of the list.

Questions remain over the allocation process, the criteria used to select beneficiaries, and whether all allocations were conducted in accordance with applicable housing policies and regulations.

Public Protector ruled against this thuggery and ordered the same department to order. Clearly they don’t learn nor listen. We will be there when this backfires.

Shameless Free State Government to “rectify” wrongly allocated house during ANC event in 2022

The 7th administration is proving to be the worst ever, nothing works. It has adopted Lesufism – being busy doing nothing.

Human Settlements in Free State is a CRIME SCENE!

This is a developing story.
