Last week (2 June) Executive Mayor of Swartland Harold Cleophas (right) handed 24 houses over to new beneficiaries in the De Hoop Housing Project. Over the last two months Swartland Municipality has handed 70 houses over. Many of the beneficiaries had waited for more than two decades for a house, a place they can call their own. Pictured with Cleophas is Josephine Turner, one of the beneficiaries. Turner (81), who waited more than 20 years for a house, said she couldn’t wait to move her furniture in and have her children and grandchildren visit. The municipality is currently in the first phase of the De Hoop Housing Project. During the first phase 395 houses will be built. It is the municipality’s priority to move beneficiaries in as soon as the houses are complete, to avoid illegal occupation and vandalism.
