George Mayor, Ald Leon van Wyk with Ald Bazil Petrus, Portfolio Councillor for Human Settlements and John Laws, Construction Manager: Ruwacon Construction Pty LTD on-site at the Metro Housing project earlier this week. Mayor van Wyk said he is glad to see the good progress being made with the houses up until now and that beneficiaries on the list include disabled people and the elderly.

Ald Petrus said the fact that, as soon as the Western Cape Ministry of Infrastructure gives the go-ahead, we can hand over homes to people, is gratifying. He said the progress with the rest of the houses is also coming along quickly and those homes will be ready to be handed over in the next phase.
