The only thing I can say is thank you,” said a tearful Mme Makgato as she received the keys to her new house.
“Let’s give houses to people who are deserving. Mme Makgato’s family has three children and four grandchildren. I give your grandchildren school bags as a symbol and a reminder that this government says, ‘go to school and become better,'” said MEC Makamu, handing over the house to Ms. Makgato.
“On the 24th of October 2024, I made a commitment to the Petition Committee chaired by Honorable Mapula Mokaba that I would deliver the house before Christmas. And we have delivered,” added Makamu.
Executive Mayor, Mmakgoshi Dikgale and Honorable Mokaba thanked MEC Makamu and the developer, Zhora Khan. Khan said, “Ga-Dikgale is my home; building this house was about giving back to a community that raised me.”
The event held on 20 December 2024 was also attended by community members.
