Residents who rented out their government issued RDP houses and backrooms to people who used them as illegal schools contributed to a widespread problem affecting Olievenhoutbosch.

Local ANC branch secretary Kenny Masha made the remarks on Tuesday in an effort to warn residents not to contribute to a problem the leadership has been fighting to eradicate in the community.

However, he said it’s now the time for the community to take note of this problematic habit and refrain from enabling people who run these “dodgy” businesses and send them away when they propose renting their homes. “The directorate for independent schools met with us and we took them to the schools last week and they gave the people operating the schools verbal instructions to stop what they are doing.

“With that said, we are saying our people need to be aware of this problem and help us make things right by refusing to take part in this. This problem of people renting out their RDP houses is one that is widespread and it will need the departments of housing and human settlements to conduct proper and thorough research on the matter.”
