The Democratic Alliance (DA) notes with dismay the provincial governments silence on the DA’s calls to release a vacant portion of land in the Mangaung Metro for private sector housing development. The DA wrote to the provincial government, as well as to the Executive Mayor of the Mangaung Metro, Mxolisi Siyonzana, to release a vacant portion of land under Erf - 15735, Diagram Deed - T6896/1972, which is currently in the custody of the provincial government, for purposes of commercial housing development by the private sector.
