The MMC responsible for City Planning, Ald. Heather Hart officially handed over the newly built house to the Buthelezi family in Zonkezizwe, Zone 04. The house was damaged by a sinkhole and reported to the City of Ekurhuleni for possible refurbishment on the 30th of October 2019.
Upon assessment, the City of Ekurhuleni acted swiftly to evacuate the family to a safer place. The rehabilitation process started with the demolition of the house, excavation of the sinkhole and rebuilding of the house.
“Firstly, I want to thank the Buthelezi family for their patience. The sinkhole rehabilitation process took longer than expected, and we had to set aside a budget to ensure that the reconstruction of the house is done properly. I am so happy that our residents will now occupy the safest house in Zonkezizwe, said MMC Hart”.
