SA housing backlog grows
Of the total figure, 1.6 million houses worth about R37bn have already been transferred to poor households, according to a review released late on Tuesday by the national treasury.
"Despite these delivery rates, the housing backlog has grown," it said, adding that the number of dwellings classified as "inadequate" - mostly shacks - had grown 20% from 1.5 million in 1996 to 1.8 million in 2001. |
