Cape Town - A planned guided tour of the District Six Land Restitution Housing Project by the standing committee on human settlements was cancelled at the last minute after the Department of Land Reform and Rural Development (DALRRD) withdrew citing âother commitmentsâ.
The department was meant to participate as one of the three spheres of government in a hybrid meeting to discuss the challenges associated with the project and the reasons for the current delays.
The committee had hoped to see how the three spheres of government could collaborate to fast track the project.
