PROCUREMENT PROCUREMENT

• The names of the responsive / recommended bidders are submitted

to State Security Agency for screening through MISS Division of the

Department. The challenges the Department faces with regards to

screening of service providers before appointment is that:-

– State Security Agency want / demand an original valid tax clearance

certificate in order to perform the task which is impossible for the

Department to take out originals tax clearance certificates for the bidders

in the original bid documents.

– State Security Agency takes more than three (3) months to give the

feedback, which lead the Department to appoint before the feedback.

RATANANG INFORMAL SETTLEMENTS RATANANG INFORMAL SETTLEMENTS

owners have gone to court to have this community evicted.

• The informal settlement has a committee structure

• A Dr. Khonou has offered his land adjacent to the one currently

occupied by the informal settlement

• However there is another piece of land adjacent to his land wherein it

would be ideal to consolidate the two pieces of land

RATANANG INFORMAL SETTLEMENTS RATANANG INFORMAL SETTLEMENTS cont... cont...

• The Informal Settlement has been engaged on the project and has

been encouraged to submit a list of 643 households residing in this

informal settlement.

• The leadership of the informal settlement has been conscientized on

the possibility of relocation and encouraged not to allow more people

to move into the settlement as this would be pose a challenge in

responding to this housing need

• The municipality through its housing manager has expressed full

support to the proposed relocation.• The second owner on the adjacent property has been contacted

• and has verbally indicated his intention to sell the piece of land

CONCLUSION CONCLUSION

• As a lead department in the realization of sustainable human

settlements and improved quality of household life we remain

steadfast to this commitment.

• We continue to be committed to mainstream the use of our resources in

order to attain optimum efficiency; that is we will continue to do more with

less.

• Furthermore, it is our responsibility as a Department to ensure that the

National Mandate is achieved with utmost success. This will be achieved by

the allocation of R 1 224 537 000m earmarked for the province for the

2013/14 financial year.
