Provincial Human Settlements MEC Bonginkosi Madikizela says: “The intention is to profile the people to understand who will qualify for what.”

Madikizela on Tuesday appealed to residents not to rebuild their homes just yet.

“The leadership must assist us to engage with people as it’s not easy to keep people off site. The people are eager to go back.”
