Additional quotes by Pamela Tshwete

When we restore the dignity of our people through human settlements, we do not only deliver a house, but quality houses with norms and standards to support the needs of the community including persons with disabilities. Moreover, we deliver human settlements with social amenities.

These are but not limited to; unblocking of blocked projects, upgrading of informal settlements, eradication of asbestos roofing and mud-houses, and finally the social housing programmes that are aimed at transforming the inner cities and locating our communities closer to economic opportunities.
