Work on the Delville Extension Nine social housing project is in full swing and progressing well.<\/p>\n

Employees from the metro, including the head of department for human settlements, Bongani Molefe, visited the building site recently to view a \u201cshow\u201d unit.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

The unit had been done in various finishes, in order for Molefe to see what the different finishes would look like, and for the municipality to then make a decision on which finishes to use for the remaining units.<\/p>\n

This project is taking place at the same time as the Germiston Fire Station social housing project, and the metro has set aside R132-million to complete the two projects.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

The Delville Extension Nine project will boast of 112 social housing units.<\/p>\n

Some units will have two bedrooms, some will have one and others will be bachelor flats.<\/p>\n

However, each unit will have its own living room, kitchen and bathroom.<\/p>\n

Provision will also be made to cater for people with disabilities.<\/p>\n

The construction of the fire station project will see a total of 353 units built, with 144 units planned for phase one and 209 units to be constructed during phase two of the project.<\/p>\n
