Kimberley - The former contractor who was hired to build new homes for the family of 50 members from Colville, wants to obtain a court order to prevent further construction from taking place on the site if he is not paid what is due to him.
The site behind the SAPS flats in Herlear was abandoned and is now overgrown with long grass and weeds.
The Seekoei, Jacobs and Kok families, who share a three-roomed house in Colville, have been waiting for over a year for any progress after the Collen Mashawana Foundation and AfriBiz Investments undertook to build them new homes to alleviate their overcrowded living conditions.
