The Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development confirmed yet another delay in the handover of 108 housing units for the District Six claimants.  According to the department, the delay is due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the nationwide lockdown. The department said in a statement on Wednesday: This department is a developer of phase 3 of District Six Redevelopment. In this phase, the department is building 108 housing units, which will be handed over to claimants once they are completed. There were 24 housing units built in phase 1 and 115 for phase 2. As the world is currently experiencing the effect of Covid-19, the global pandemic affected the construction of District Six. As a result, some delays were just inevitable.
