18. PROCUREMENT The names of the responsive / recommended bidders are submitted to State Security Agency for screening through MISS Division of the Department. The challenges the Department faces with regards to screening of service providers before appointment is that:- –State Security Agency want / demand an original valid tax clearance certificate in order to perform the task which is impossible for the Department to take out originals tax clearance certificates for the bidders in the original bid documents. – State Security Agency takes more than three (3) months to give the feedback, which lead the Department to appoint before the feedback.

19. RATANANG INFORMAL SETTLEMENTS The informal settlement of Ratanang is located in private land whose owners have gone to court to have this community evicted. The informal settlement has a committee structure A Dr. Khonou has offered his land adjacent to the one currently occupied by the informal settlement However there is another piece of land adjacent to his land wherein it would be ideal to consolidate the two pieces of land

20. RATANANG INFORMAL SETTLEMENTS cont... The Informal Settlement has been engaged on the project and has been encouraged to submit a list of 643 households residing in this informal settlement. The leadership of the informal settlement has been conscientized on the possibility of relocation and encouraged not to allow more people to move into the settlement as this would be pose a challenge in responding to this housing need The municipality through its housing manager has expressed full support to the proposed relocation. The second owner on the adjacent property has been contacted and has verbally indicated his intention to sell the piece of land

21. CONCLUSION As a lead department in the realization of sustainable human settlements and improved quality of household life we remain steadfast to this commitment. We continue to be committed to mainstream the use of our resources in order to attain optimum efficiency; that is we will continue to do more with less. Furthermore, it is our responsibility as a Department to ensure that the National Mandate is achieved with utmost success. This will be achieved by the allocation of R 1 224 537 000m earmarked for the province for the 2013/14 financial year.
