  2. THE PERFORMANCE OF MPUMALANGA HOUSING 2005/06 • Introduction • The department took a strategic decision to focus on the completion of incomplete housing projects that were blocked as a result of non availability of land and inflation problems. • Performance in 2005/06 on the Housing Grant reached 82%. • Performance on the Human Settlement Redevelopment Grant was 88%. • The presentation below details the challenges and actions taken to address them.

  4. DATA ON BUDGET AND EXPENDITURE FOR THE 2005/06 HOUSING CONDITIONAL GRANT

  5. CHALLENGES FOR THE 2005/06 HOUSING CONDITIONAL GRANT • Lack of monitoring capacity and technical inspection of projects as result of shortage of personnel. Our baseline is limited. This does not enable us to finance unfunded posts. • Failure to complete projects on time as a result of scarce material, lack of capacity of contractors • Lack of skill to interpret contracts by contractors. • Collusion of contractors with government officials to defraud government. • Corruption, e.g. fronting, collusion with civil servants, etc • The introduction of operational capital enabled us to secure additional services of professional project management companies to beef up our inspections.

  6. SOLUTIONS • Employment of additional technical staff through the use of operations capital that enabled us to employ project managers. • 3 Corrupt officials charged and dismissed • Nonperforming contractors terminated, and new contractors have been appointed and contracts drawn to complete the 3,593 outstanding units. • Provincial treasury assisted with top-up funding to address inflation creep that had affected some projects.

  7. DATA ON BUDGET AND EXPENDITURE FOR THE 2005/06 HUMAN SETTLEMENT REDEVELOPMENT GRANT

  8. CHALLENGES FOR THE 2005/06 HUMAN SETTLEMENT REDEVELOPMENT GRANT • Late appointment of consultants by municipalities • Changes to the designs by the municipalities to convert from hall only to a multipurpose centre with office space.

  9. 2005/06 HUMAN SETTLEMENT REDEVELOPMENT GRANT • The outstanding 12% relates to work that must still be completed on the MPCC’s and the inherent retention money. • The enclosed photos are an indication of work that is complete at Dipaleseng and at Pixley Ka Seme the performance is at 85%. This project should be finished by the end of May 2006.
