FOREWORD BY THE PROVINCIAL MINISTER OF THE DEPARTMENT The 2019/20 financial year allowed us the opportunity to once again improve the lives of thousands of people across the Western Cape. Making a significant and tangible difference in the lives of the most deserving beneficiaries drives us to do more. From the onset of my tenure as Minister, we resolved that key drivers are needed if we are going to deliver housing opportunities to our people. Four key drivers were identified: • The radical acceleration of housing delivery; • Radical Implementation of Innovative Solutions; • An Integrated Approach to Human Settlements; and • Radical Empowerment and Job Creation. We arrived at these key drivers after extensive consultation with a variety of stakeholders, including engagements with municipalities to address some of the biggest issues and challenges the human settlements environment might be experiencing. To further demonstrate that we are attentive to the views of our people, an executive directive was issued to all municipalities, stating that backyard dwellers should officially form part of their list of criteria for greenfield projects. This means that we’re prioritising the elderly, persons with disabilities, those longest on the housing demand database i.e. 15 years and longer as well as the backyard dwellers. It is worth noting that we are the first provincial government to officially include backyard dwellers into our list of priority groups. In essence, this means that in all greenfield projects there will be a 50/50 split, while keeping all the other criterion in mind. Furthermore, we have once again demonstrated our commitment to creating opportunities for Small, Medium and Micro Enterprises (SMME’s), by allocating 66.74% of the Human Settlements
