HEIDEVELD: HOUSING BATTLE BREWS

Demand for first service TARREN­LEE HABELGAARN @LeeLaVidaLoca

F

irst preference is what residents in Heideveld are demanding. Locals on the housing waiting list are fuming that residents from neighbouring suburbs will also be housed in a new housing development in their backyard. Construction on the new homes along Duinefontein Road is due to start in June. The R77m project will see 738 houses built and ready for residents to move in by June 2016. Beneficiaries will be chosen from Heideveld, Welcome Estate, Vanguard Estate, Gugulethu and Bonteheuwel. Only 10% will be chosen from the top of the waiting list. Mayoral Committee member for Human Settlement Thandeka Gqada says council can confirm that public meetings and beneficiary screenings have taken place over the past two years and progress on the development is going well. “The civil engineering services have been installed in the Heideveld project and a tender for the construction of the top structures for the housing project is being evaluated. The building of the top structures is estimated to start in June,” she says. There are only 70 homes remaining to be distributed as 668 beneficiaries have already been identified. Council is in the final stage of selecting the beneficiaries for this low-cost housing development and will notify those who qualify via a public meeting to be held later this month. This has caused an outbreak of fury among the locals who feel only Heideveld residents should receive new homes in this project. Resident Carlisle Ishmail says he has been on the housing waiting list for 25 years and would like to be a homeowner before he dies.

LONG WAIT: Heideveld residents are becoming impatient while waiting to hear if they will make the cut for a new home. homes of a new development are given to people from the townships who came onto the list yesterday,” she says. “How are they making these choices and who gets to decide? Somewhere in the system there is a problem.” Ward councillor Anthony Moses says to qualify for a house residents currently need to be on the council housing waiting list and earn R3500 or less. “We would like to give everyone a house, but that isn’t possible. We are trying to create an integrated community and uplift peo-

“I have lived and worked in Heideveld all my life and I think it is unfair for (the City) to give our homes to people who live outside the community,” he says. “We wait so long for a new development to take place. Now that council is finally doing something in our area they want to give it to others. That’s not right!” Resident Jasmine van der Heever agrees, insisting that first option be given to those living in the neighbourhood. “Here are so many old people who have been on the waiting list for over 30 years, but so often the

ple from all areas. Therefore it is important to create an opportunity for people who possibly won’t have a development like this in their community to get a home,” he says. “For many people this will be more than just a new home. It will be a new beginning and it would be unfair to only focus on specific areas to benefit.” Residents who have received written notice that they qualify for a house have until this weekend to provide proof they are on the waiting list at their nearest housing office.
