Housing in KwaZuluNatal faces big challenges, like slow emergency responses and budget cuts, leaving many people in tough situations. After a storm in June 2023 that damaged homes, the government’s response has been frustratingly slow, exposing families to more hardship. Business groups often interfere with housing projects, demanding shares that stall progress and harm community needs. Despite these issues, a committee is determined to improve the situation by pushing for better planning, accountability, and quick action, hoping to create safe and timely housing for those in need.
