The MMC for Human Settlements, Ald. Aaron Maluleka, has officially launched a R4 million Water Reticulation, Sewer Reticulation, Platforms, Roads and Stormwater Infrastructure Project in Ga-Rankuwa Ext 10.

The project is a step towards fast tracking integrated human settlements
development by ensuring that essential bulk and internal services are in place ahead of housing construction.

This critical infrastructure will service 204 walk-up housing units that are scheduled to be built by the Gauteng Department of Human Settlements.

The infrastructure phase is expected to be implemented over a period of approximately 20 months.

Upon completion, the Gauteng Department of Human Settlements will proceed with the construction of the housing units, which will be allocated to qualifying beneficiaries.

Speaking at the launch, MMC Maluleka emphasised that the investment ensures that when houses are built, they are supported by reliable bulk services which include water, sanitation, roads and stormwater systems.

“This reflects our commitment to
restoring dignity and improving living conditions for our residents ensuring that no community is left behind,” he said.

In addition to improving service delivery, the project will stimulate the local economy, 15 skilled and semi-skilled local labourers are expected to benefit from employment opportunities, while local SMMEs will participate in the implementation of the project,
strengthening community empowerment.

The City remains committed to accelerating infrastructure delivery and creating well-planned, sustainable human
settlements that respond to the needs of residents in GaRankuwa Ext 10 and surrounding communities.
