Last week, we kicked off a discussion surrounding Social Housing and how it can be an intervention that helps millions of aspirant homeowners to afford entry-level homes around the country. In the discussion, we outlined some of the concerns in the current framework: the slow release of public land for construction, insufficient grant allocation, bank finance for homes & rising costs of construction. Today, we speak to government official involved in overseeing social housing given the concerns raised surrounding the lack of progress on existing projects. 

Guest: (Mr) Lebowa Letsoalo - acting Chief Executive Officer of Social Housing Regulatory Authority (segment of Department of Human Settlements)
