Rebuilding of Flood-Damaged Houses in George Underway

A geotechnical report for the rebuilding of Five (5) houses has been completed. These houses are in Blanco, Maraiskamp, and Thembalethu, and will undergo reconstruction.

These old RDP houses, now known as Breaking New Ground (BNG) houses, have been identified by a Structural Engineer who recommended rebuilding due to recurrent flooding during heavy rains.

The Western Cape Provincial Department of Human Settlements has approved the funding for this project and the George Municipality’s Human Settlements Department will be responsible for the appointment of a contractor and the construction monitoring during the implementation of the project.
