Another week has passed, as well as another month.
This past week we began, after a long battle with the 'Red Tape', to process 118 out of 2173 house plans.
The hold back has been the normal 'pillar-to-post' type of operation from Provincial Government, Local Municipality, Surveyor Certificates and of course out sourced consultancy.
We as DAG have an agenda; to improve peoples live.
Case in point |
The mandate we received from Province was to Unblock a few Khayelitsha Housing Projects.
Essentially, our duty is to repair and/or construct 36 square meter public houses for 2173 beneficiaries.
Now, what happens if a beneficiary has a 40 square meter house?
Do we cut corners to be within budget? No we find alternatives.
Rather look at each beneficiary individually and address each unique case respectively.
There was an old lady who was bound on a wheel chair, she disparately needed an inside toilet in her house, which was 40 square meters big.
So do we ignore her 'unique' status quo or construct a toilet in the inside?
Of course we construct the toilet inside, remember:
"We as DAG. have an agenda; to improve peoples lives"
