Northwest MEC for Cooperative Governance, Human Settlements and Traditional Affairs, Gaoage Oageng Molapisi, has fulfilled a promise he made last year by handing over houses to two destitute families in Tlakgameng Village, in the Kagisano Molopo Local Municipality.
Molapisi said building houses is not just to provide safety for the people but to give a dignified shelter to the two families.
“This act of generosity has not only provided a safe and dignified shelter for the two vulnerable families but has also restored hope and a sense of belonging. It is through such meaningful interventions that lasting social change is achieved.”
Kgomotso Ivy Setshogela (47), one of the two beneficiaries, who lives with twelve dependents in an old, cracked house that is on the brink of collapsing, expressed her gratitude to Molapisi.
“I am grateful to the MEC and the contractor for affording me and my family shelter, as I had long lost hope in our situation, she said.” The Setshogela family survives through child support grants received by some of the children in the household.
Molapisi further said that the donation of the houses came at the right time ahead of the departmental budget vote, which will be held next week, where he is expected to outline the department’s plans for the 2025/26 financial year.
