These programmes are all driven by an existing Housing Steering Committee Forum (HSCF), which involves all local municipalities in the district. The forum comprises housing portfolio heads, municipal housing managers/officials, the Department of Housing in the district and other invited stakeholders.
The main functions of the HSCF are:
To discuss housing challenges and housing demands and to get solutions;
•
To discuss progress reports submitted by the local municipalities on their housing projects; and
•
To identify ways of providing capacity to those local municipalities that are lacking and also
•
discuss other related housing issues.
Subsequent to the role that the district will play with regard to housing development, the CHDM, in partnership with the Coega Development Corporation, intends signing an Advanced Socio-Economic Development and Transformation through Infrastructure Development agreement. This agreement will facilitate skills development of local labour, including internship programmes and emerging enterprise development, including cooperatives.
2.4.2.6 Telecommunication
Telkom is currently expanding its public phone infrastructure in the rural homeland areas with the result that the majority of Chris Hani residents do have access to some sort of telephones.
Cellular phones cannot be used in all areas of the district due to the mountainous terrain, which disrupts television, radio and cell phone reception. The investment into telecommunications infrastructure is further hindered by vandalism and theft. Cellular and television providers should be lobbied to increase their network coverage in these areas so that consumers can experience a more satisfactory service.
There is still very limited access to fax, computer and internet facilities. GCIS recently completed a survey whereby they wish to install a multi-purpose facility that will give community members access to all telecommunication facilities in each municipality. The only existing facilities of this nature are currently located at the Qamata Great Place in the Intsika Yethu local municipal area, Thusong Centres and in Ngcobo.
2.4.2.7 Transport
When considered from a transport perspective, the Chris Hani district is of importance not only to the local socio-economic climate, but also to the country as a whole. There are two national roads passing through the district in a north-south direction (N10 and N6), as well as two railway lines. The two rail routes link Port Elizabeth and East London to the interior.
The main east-west road corridors are along the R61 from Cradock, through Queenstown and beyond, the R359 from Queenstown through Lady Frere and Cala to Elliot, and the R56 from Queenstown through Sterkstroom, Molteno and Steynsburg to Middelburg.
