After sitting idle for almost ten years, the Empumalanga West Housing Project in Hwange is finally moving forward with construction set to kick off before the year wraps up. Town secretary Ndumiso Mdlalose confirmed that Phase I will deliver over 2,000 residential plots to low-income families who've been stuck in limbo since the scheme launched back in 2014.
Residents have already bought special corrosion-resistant pipes to get the sewer system finished, which was basically the last major hurdle blocking everything. Local officials are pushing the Ministry of Housing to rubber-stamp the final permits since the development could create jobs and boost the economy.
The council finalized a new layout for the area, and they're hoping this massive project will help chip away at the district's housing crisis while bringing some economic activity to the region.
