Oversight and Aspiration: Transforming Human Settlements in the Garden Route District Municipality

by

The Garden Route District faces big challenges like poor project delivery, not enough money, and weak infrastructure, all leftover from apartheid times. The goal is to build fair, mixed communities with better homes and services, using important grants and a smart plan called the Integrated Human Settlements Strategic Plan. Officials recently visited neighborhoods, seeing both progress and struggles, where people still live in makeshift shelters waiting for proper houses. The journey is tough, but with strong oversight, teamwork, and listening to communities, there’s hope to create safe, vibrant places for everyone to live with dignity.
