ALEXANDRA HEARINGS: Ramaphosa never promised Alexandra community a million houses, say officials

In a startling revelation that is likely to irk many an Alexandra resident, it emerged from provincial Department of Human Settlements officials during the third day of the inquiry into socio-economic ills in Alexandra

In the department’s presentation, Moiloa asked the commission to go deeper into its investigations because of the complexity of the issues involved, among them complications resulting from an influx of legal and illegal migrants and refugees. He asked the commission to take cognisance of the huge burden on the department as a result of the influx.

As he prepares to leave the department having finished his term under trying political and financial times, Moiloa called for sufficient investment in infrastructure which, he said, would enable broad-based development. Fitzgerald asked the officials who else they thought should appear before the commission, to which Moiloa said the Minister of Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs , Zweli Mkhize, should appear.I think for me it’s critical for the minister of Cogta to appear before the commission. There are also political parties who I will not mention by name, who agitate random illegal occupations of land. They tell citizens to occupy land wherever they want.

The department’s Thenjwa Ngcobo said there wasn’t much the department could do where there was no enforcement of by-laws. Poor enforcement of by-laws was a huge problem as it affected development.Neville Chainee, the deputy director-general of housing, told the inquiry that the violation of by-laws came at a huge cost to the government.
