There was jubilation as two families from Ward 103 in KwaNyuswa received the keys to their new homes.
 
NGIZWILE Dladla and Nomusa Sithole were all smiles when they received the keys to their new homes from Ward 103 Committee member Mbongeni Gwala together with other KwaNyuswa leadership. The two houses were built under the Qiniselani Manyuswa Housing Project. Gwala congratulated the beneficiaries who had been patient while waiting for their houses. “The Qiniselani Manyuswa Housing Project has been ongoing for some time, with more units to be built.

The project aims to provide housing for destitute families. We understand there is a dire need for housing, but we urge the public to be patient,” said Gwala. Dladla thanked eThekwini Mayor Councillor Mxolisi Kaunda and Ward Councillor Linda Mchunu for her new home. “As a pensioner, I would not have been able to build this house on my own.

I was on the waiting list for a long time, but never lost hope or confidence that I would receive a house. I thank God because all things are possible with Him,” she said, with a huge smile on her face. The other beneficiary Sithole said she was at a loss for words. “I would also like to thank Councillor Mchunu for their assistance. I am glad that today I have a place called home, the house is very beautiful and I am so grateful,” said Sithole. mlungisi.dlamini@durban.gov.za
