Thesis (M.A. (Dev. Studies)) --University of Limpopo, 2007 / This study analyzes challenges facing housing programmes, predominantly low
cost housing projects. An assessment of the Nobody Mothapo low cost housing
project in the Polokwane Municipality was done. The officials of the Department
of Local Government and Housing, Polokwane Municipality, and beneficiaries of
the Nobody Mothapo project participated in the study. The sample consisted of
43 participants with different characteristics. Group discussions were conducted
during the data collection process. The findings of this study are that
government is attempting to fulfill its obligations by providing shelter to the
needy people although there are negative effects hampering the implementation
process. The slow housing delivery process and poor quality houses are
negatively affecting homeless people. Human settlements are still established
without the necessary infrastructure such as electricity, roads and other social
amenities.
In this study the challenges facing this housing delivery process are discussed.
Recommendations are made regarding the role of government. Consumer
education is emphasized to enhance community participation in their
development and adherence to project management principles in the planning
and implementation of low cost housing projects. / Not listed
