- Description
- The purpose of this study was to asses the challenges facing the Eastern Cape Nkonkobe Municipality in the provision of adequate housing for the poor. The study also aimed at suggesting mechanisms or strategies that could be applied to remedy the situation. It became evident throughout the study that the government has tried its best to fight against homelessness, but there are still thousands of people who do not have houses. The study was conducted through the use of a combination of the qualitative and quantitative research methods. Multiple methods were used with a view to increasing the reliability of observations. Twenty questionnaires were distributed to people at grassroots and ten questionnaires were distributed to the municipal officials. It has been noted in the study that community participation at all government levels is not taken seriously thus the housing problem in Nkonkobe Municipality. It is evident in the study that all the peoples’ projects in this municipality should be people-driven. It has also been pointed out that the service providers take a big slice of the municipal budget. The National Department of Human Settlement must also increase the budget that is allocated to the local municipalities so as to be able to spearhead housing delivery. This study will make a great contribution to the society in that all stakeholders will devise mechanisms to fight against housing challenges in the Nkonkobe Municipality. The municipal officials will devise workable solutions to the housing problem in Nkonkobe. This will change peoples’ lives and human dignity will be restored.
