Six Thousand State Homes Under Scrutiny | Johannesburg News
Description
Minister Dean Macpherson has launched a sweeping audit of 6,238 state-owned homes occupied by government officials, aiming to sell off unused properties and slash public spending. With KwaZulu-Natal holding the largest share, the probe seeks to determine which homes are still essential—and which can be redeveloped or sold. The investigation will scrutinize rental fairness, eligibility, and compliance across departments, including Public Works, to ensure transparency and efficiency. Macpherson insists the state must stop hoarding housing when many officials already receive benefits—freeing up funds for critical public services.
