Over several months this year, the Human Settlements Portfolio Committee carried out a number of oversight visits in informal areas to have a closer look at where improvements in delivery can be made in the most vulnerable areas. The visit included the Wallacedene, S-Section and Bosasa areas where service upgrades such as enhanced water and sanitation, walkways and emergency access routes were completed.
The various City informal settlements projects are an example of the City’s work and commitment to service delivery for residents in vulnerable areas. These projects immediately make a difference in the lives of residents. The Human Settlements Directorate continues to change lives and over the past financial year, spent 99,3% of its more than R880 million capital budget in the 2022/23 financial year.
