Sisulu has outlined that there is a high need to address housing issues and upgrade informal settlement in the Gauteng, Mpumalanga, Northern Cape and the Western Cape provinces. The Northern Cape has been allocated R200 million of this amount to deal with the mushrooming of informal settlements and to move dwellers to more developed areas.

Northern Cape Premier Zamani Saul has meanwhile taken to social media platforms to express his gratitude and to vow that the province will use these funds as intended.

Sisulu has further indicated that the provinces should work together with the private sector and the banks to make affordable land stands available for low-income earners.
