ATTENTION: Editors and Reporters

The South African Human Rights Commission’s in North West Province will convene the second sitting of its provincial investigative inquiry into unfinished and inadequate RDP houses in the North West on 8 August 2023. The provincial investigative inquiry forms part of an ongoing investigation into the challenges relating to RDP houses in the province.

On 10 to 12 May 2023, the NWPO convened the first sitting of the provincial investigative inquiry. The provincial investigative inquiry was postponed for a second sitting due to the failure of some of the Respondents to appear before the Commission, necessitating that they be subpoenaed to appear before the Commission.

At the second sitting of the provincial investigative inquiry, the Commission expects to hear evidence from the Office of the Premier, the Provincial Treasury, Rustenburg Local Municipality, JB Marks Local Municipality and Madibeng Local Municipality.
