Johannesburg - The Sol Plaatje Local Municipality has been slated for waiting for President Cyril Ramaphosaâs intervention to make land available to build houses for a family of 42 crammed into one dwelling.
The Northern Cape municipality was kicked into action before the ANCâs 108th birthday in Kimberley last year when Ramaphosa publicly reprimanded its mayor Patrick Mabilo and ordered him to do something about the unacceptable situation.
âThis is unacceptable by any account. No, no, this canât happen. The roads are terrible, the roads are very bad,â a visibly disturbed Ramaphosa said at the time.
