The systemic nature of the complaints prompted the Commission to initiate a formal inquiry, which was held in May and August 2023. The investigative inquiry uncovered significant, province-wide challenges in the delivery of RDP houses, impacting all municipalities across the North West. During the inquiry, the Commission also identified inconsistencies and data discrepancies from stakeholders, pointing to a lack of coordination in managing these housing projects.
