Chairperson, I hereby give notice that on the next sitting day of the Council I shall move on behalf of the DA:
That the Council -
1) notes that the plan of the South African government and/or the Minister of Human Settlements to establish a state housing company is irresponsible and must be rejected;
2) further notes that the government does not have the capacity now to monitor and evaluate the quality of the structure of houses or to make sure that the National Home Builders Registration Council does its duty of ensuring that no shoddy houses are built; and
3) therefore requests the government, the Minister of Human Settlements and the NHBRC to focus on how they can sharpen their skills and responsibilities to ensure a quality structure in all state-subsidised houses before establishing a state housing company.
