The Zanemvula project in the Eastern Cape won best priority award at the Eastern Cape leg of the Govan Mbeki awards ceremony on Tuesday 24 April. The HDA was appointed by the Eastern Cape Province as implementing agent on the project. The event was attended by Nicholas Tsewu and Ivan Stevenveldt from the HDA’s Port Elizabeth office. Mr Tsewu, HDA’s Zanemvula Operations Manager, is thrilled with the award and says “finally the HDA’s hard work and delivery on the project has been recognised”.
The Board of the Housing Development Agency (HDA) is deeply concerned at the Sunday Independent’s misleading coverage today of a labour dispute involving one of its employees.
In July 2011, the HDA embarked on a one-year mentorship programme for project managers and project administrators in collaboration with the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University’s Department of Building and Human Settlement Development.
The Limpopo Department of Co-operative Governance, Human Settlements and Traditional Affairs has partnered with the HDA to, among other things, ensure accelerated delivery of sustainable human settlements in the province. The idea to establish the Agency was taken during the historic conference of the ruling party in Polokwane, Limpopo, in 2007.
The HDA, together with the Eastern Cape and the Nelson Mandela Bay Metro, has produced the first two editions of a monthly community newsletter that is distributed to affected Zanemvula communities.
