Want an RDP house in Nelson Mandela Bay quickly? Pay a bribe. Everyone knows that. Even deputy mayor Bicks Ndoni knows that. He said on Monday that “it is a well-known fact” that this is how it’s done in the metro.Ndoni‚ speaking at a developers consultative workshop‚ seemed resigned to the scale of the problem and said there was no point in putting in place good interventions when corruption was not rooted out in the allocation of housing within the metro.Human Settlements’ acting director-general Mbulelo Tshangana‚ however‚ said a Cabinet-approved package of support for the metro‚ that will see the Housing Development Agency becoming an implementing agent to speed up housing delivery‚ was not an “intervention”.“That concept does not exist in our vocabulary. The reality is that we need fully functioning human settlements in the metro to make sure that there is integration and co-ordination between the three spheres of government in this metro‚” said Tshangana.“It is well known fact in this city that you can get get an RDP house quickly by paying a bribe…It is simply scandalous that we are subjecting our people‚ who have trusted us and voted us into power‚ to this sort of behaviour‚” Ndoni said.“Let’s distribute houses fairly and justly‚ let’s give them the quality of houses that they deserve‚ lets create integrated communities with schools‚ parks and play grounds‚ let’s not subject them to the humiliation of having to pay bribes to get everything done.”..
