The delegation welcomed the presentation and commented as follows: 1. The provincial department should consider using alternatives sanitation rather than the Ventilated Improved Pit (VIP) latrine as lack of maintenance of those can become hazardous to communities. The province should have a provincial steering committee for sanitation to accelerate delivery especially in rural areas. The provincial department was advised to consult the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) for building materials which will help the department to reduce costs. 2. Greening needed to be fostered and the communities should be encouraged to look after their gardens and tree that were donated. Non-governmental organisations should be unleashed to make sure that every house is reached. 3. The housing allocation committee should assist in identifying the communities that are in need of houses and it should also work with municipalities. The committee should also assist in management of beneficiary list.
