Background Challenges; Shortage of beneficiaries Budget allocation
Challenges Housing delivery slower than planned due to the following Poor performance by contractors and developers. Lack of serviced sites from Municipalities. As a result the Department has to plan and provide serviced sites. Shortage of beneficiaries from Municipalities. Projects for site and services did not deliver service sites as anticipated. Community unrests and volatile areas. Municipalities do not have functioning SPLUMA Tribunals: This delays the Township establishment for new projects; Negative impact on installation of infrastructure; Construction of top structures put on hold; and Also affects Title Restoration Project.
Challenges (contd) Province is predominantly dolomitic and developing on such areas is expensive– about 67% of the province has this conditions which is not costed prior to implementation and it takes time. Other key projects experienced demonstrations/protest action for instance in Rustenburg – Bokamoso and Matlosana Alabama Ext 4 & 5. H3 clay conditions need additional funds for the relevant design and rock-infested areas pose a challenge. Projects in volatile areas Implementation of projects not ready – poorly planned projects as a legacy of tranche projects. Old historical projects Poor performance of projects

Substitution of approved beneficiaries from older blocked projects to current projects where beneficiaries cannot be located. Training of officials from Municipalities for the National Housing Needs Register (NHNR) completed. Implementation of NHNR in progress.

Recovery Plan Strategy for recovery Status of infrastructure projects Special Intervention: 21 Elders
Strategy For Recovery Continue to target incomplete structures for completion. Poor performing contractors will only be allowed to complete their incomplete structures and the balance of the subsidies to be allocated to capable contractors . Intensify project management with special emphasis on: Rescheduling of expenditure and delivery from non performing projects; Placing non and under performing contractors on terms; Facilitate ceding of contracts from under performing contractors to contractors with capacity; Facilitate cessions with material suppliers. Project and programme management has been enhanced with the secondment of officials from other units.
Strategy For Recovery (contd) Military veterans Contractor has been appointed for 84 units in Ramotshere Moiloa and Mahikeng; Incorporate remainder into existing contracts nearby. Unlocking delivery in blocked projects: The professional service provider (PMU) has been tasked to conduct an audit and quantification of completion of blocked projects; The projects will be consolidated and closed at the number of units last delivered; Consolidate unused subsidies into one project per region called “Blocked Projects Programme”; and Appoint reputable contractor/s who is able to deliver at scale per region. Serviced Stands: Fast track top structure construction on serviced land as per infrastructure projects (see next slide).
Status of infrastructure projects Mamusa Glaudina: 310 sites have been servicesd and handed to municipality. 310 Matlosana Alabama Ext 5: Contractor is on site and is expected to complete by end of February 2018. 2255 Rustenburg Bokamoso: Work on site is completed. Close out is being finalised to be reported in November 2017 458 Naledi Stella: Appointment is being finalised. Expected delivery by end of March 2018. 600 Catalytic Project: services are being installed on 1000 sites. 1000 Total 4623

Key Interventions Intensify monitoring of the revised delivery schedules. The developing trends in the delivery and expenditure statistics for September must be maintained and improved upon for October and November. Need to capitalise on the normal peak that is expected during November to enhance performance. Intervention team to intensify monitoring of milestones per stand to achieve targeted delivery. Contractors with capacity to accelerate delivery. All new projects that are in planning are to be correctly packaged, (ie town planning design, surveyor general approval, deeds register, engineering designs, etc) so that no delays are experienced when a contractor is appointed to build houses Standardised house plans and foundation designs to be implemented. Identify and implement innovative alternate solutions to challenges, obstacles and bottlenecks.
Key Interventions: Projects with a potential to deliver Stella 700 sites to be serviced – which is a quick process to install internal services infrastructure with machinery Coligny 500 sites to be serviced Mafikeng Rooigrond 1000 top structures – to enable reporting on non-financials when bulk infrastructure is commissioned Rustenburg Bokamoso – 4 contractors with capacity to develop a combined 1330 units are being relocated to ready areas i.e. Madibeng, Moses Kotane villages and Kgetleng Derby and Borolelo which are still under mining towns and will not reduce figures under this programme. The entire costing is R171m including standard geotechnical allowance. Alabama Ext 5 (2255) internal services – issues resolved and contractor is on site working. Alabama Ext 4 (948) top structure contractor is taking site to construct houses.
Key Intervention: 21 Elders The project was approved in 2008 to be implemented by the Municipality via the tranche funding method. When the project was taken back by the Department there were 34 elderly beneficiaries who had not benefited. The Municipality lodged a request to have these 34 houses constructed for them, expenditure was incurred under the tranche payment against these 34 beneficiaries and there were no geotechnical investigations conducted in the areas they were residing. For these beneficiaries to benefit, the Municipality was required to sign an acknowledgement of debt letter. The acknowledgement of debt was not communicated resulting in unfortunate delay. During this period 13 of the 34 elderly had passed on. Only 21 are remaining. The Department has appointed Ikaheng Developers to build these 21 units. We anticipate that all 21 units will be completed by December 2017. Fourteen beneficiaries are approved and the foundations are being constructed. The remaining 7 will be approved within the week.
