R4. 6 BILLION ALLOCATED TO UPGRADE INFORMAL SETTLEMENT 

The cry for the family who lost their shack due to storm and have been living in a tent for 20 years might have been answered. 

The municipality provided the family with a tent and promised to build them a house, but since then, they have been giving them the run-around.

Human Settlements, Water and Sanitation Minister Lindiwe Sisulu said R4.6 billion has been allocated to provinces and metro municipalities to upgrade over 300 informal settlements.
