The department says the site will provide homes to 78 flood victims.


The cost attached to the project has not been determined, with the department saying the rebuilding process involves other housing projects.


The department's Mbulelo Baloyi says the contractor moved on-site in July to clear a thicket and subsequently started the earthworks part of the construction.
