Houses built in a previous phase of the UISP in Thembalethu. GEORGE NEWS - Building is under way for the last 37 houses of a 700-unit housing project that commenced in Thembalethu in February 2017. Municipal Director of Human Settlements Charles Lubbe said phase one of the Upgrading of Informal Settlements Programme (UISP) was coming to a close with the second-last batch of 50 completed and transferred to owners at the end of last year. “This project has been life-changing for 700 new homeowners and the municipality is proud of its role in administering the process.” The last section of the project is situated on land where beneficiaries had been temporarily relocated while their houses were being built.
