Ministry of Water and Human Settlement on Friday unveiled 10 investors who will partner with government for the Bonno National Housing programme in Kgatleng District.

The programme is aimed at providing accessible and affordable housing for citizens across various income brackets.

Unveiling the investors in Mochudi recently, Assistant Minister of Water and Human Settlement, Mr Motsamai Motsamai said government, through the national transformation agenda, prioritised private sector led investments.

He said such partnerships contributed to economic growth and well-being of the society. Conversely, he also said the initiative would further empower artisans by improving their skills in construction.

He commended investors for their trust and commitment to the vision, adding that building 100 000 housing units was such an ambitious initiative that needed the support of all.

Furthermore, Mr Motsamai commended Kgatleng District for responding swiftly to the programme by availing land and further implored district authorities to support the investors.

He said the housing units would provide decent and affordable housing for low income residents, adding that owning a home restored one’s dignity and offered some form of security especially for people who had always longed to own decent homes.

Meanwhile, Kgatleng Land Board acting deputy secretary, Mr Neo Rakodu said the 10 investors would construct housing units in all the three constituencies of Kgatleng Central, Kgatleng West and Kgatleng East covering 73 hectares of land for constructing a total of 1 162 plots.

He said Kgatleng District was ready for such developments and that the district had set up a team that would facilitate the investors.

Mr Rakodu said there were some negligible challenges in some parts of the district, but noted that overall, the programme was progressing well, with some plans approved, while some would be approved by November 20.

Bakgatla Deputy Chief Kgosi Bana Sekai commended government for ensuring that Kgatleng was not left out while specially elected councillor, Ms Kentse Mollentze said Bakgatla were ready for the housing units that would give the district a facelift.

She assured the investors of unwavering support from the district authorities and that they would ensure that hired artisans provided good workmanship.  ENDS
