Mashatile promises proper housing to residents of New Jerusalem
Mashatile was speaking during a door-to-door campaign in the area.
African National Congress Deputy President Paul Mashatile has assured the residents of New Jerusalem informal settlement in Pretoria that they will receive proper housing. During a door-to-door campaign in the area, Mashatile announced that two locations with improved living conditions have been identified for the relocation of these residents.
The ANC spokesperson addressed allegations of election-driven motivation, stating that the city's leadership, under the ANC, has concrete plans for the residents. These plans include providing them with electricity, water, proper housing, and roads. The ANC has been visiting communities across the country, including New Jerusalem, in preparation for the upcoming Local Government Elections.
Mashatile emphasized that the ANC's visits to communities are a part of their regular operations and not solely driven by electoral considerations.
