Total investment is R73m, delivered by the muni
POLOKWANE Mayor John Mpe launched the municipality's electrification project of low-cost housing during a ceremony held at Seshego Extension 126 last Thursday with the Minister of Human Settlements and former Polokwane Mayor, Thembi Simelane performing the sod-turning.
The project forms part of the municipality's implementation of level two accreditation and marks a significant step in advancing the municipality's human settlements programme independently and delivering on its commitment to dignified housing and basic services for all.
“Today, we gather here not to turn our backs on our people but to turn the soil in their name.
“This sod-turning is a turning point, a signal that the people of Polokwane will no longer wait on the margins of delivery. It is a step into an era of self-driven development, where the municipality itself becomes the developer of its people's future,” Mpe said and explained that after more than 10 years of hard work, lobbying and capacity building, Polokwane Municipality has officially attained level two Housing Accreditation.
