Houses for the people of Thoyane
Previously disadvantaged households from Vulamehlo Local Municipality in KwaZulu-Natal now live in decent housing, thanks to the KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) Department of Human Settlements.
The R161 million housing project for the people of Thoyane was handed over by MEC for Human Settlements and Public Works Ravigasen Pillay recently. The 1 500 houses form part of government’s Comprehensive Rural Development Programme that aims to tackle under development, food security, unemployment, poverty and other social ills which have become synonymous with rural areas.


South Africa needs well-maintained infrastructure in order to ensure a steady supply of electricity. For this purpose, government has invested in a massive infrastructure development programme that is already contributing to Eskom’s capacity.
Over 200 detectives from around the country have attended an intensive 15-week Resolving Crime and Leadership Skills programme.
