Ramatlhodi welcomes completion of first RBPlat housing units
JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Mineral Resources Minister Advocate Ngoako Ramatlhodi on Tuesday welcomed the completion of the first phase of Royal Bafokeng Platinum’s (RBPlat’s) home ownership project in Rustenburg.
“We commend this initiative, as it means that the mineworkers will now have access to decent housing, thus restoring their dignity. It is further pleasing to note that at retirement age, if they are not from this area, they can sell the property and relocate,” he added.
RBPlat on Tuesday handed over the keys to the homeowners of 422 housing units at the Waterfall Hills Estate that had been built as part of the first phase of the company’s overall employee home ownership scheme.
This marked the successful partnership and collaboration between RBPlat and the National Union of Mineworkers to provide safe, appropriate and affordable housing to all Bafokeng Rasimone Platinum Mine joint venture employees.
RBPlat recently announced an in-principle approval of a further R2.8-billion investment towards the provision of Phase 2 of the housing scheme, which would involve the construction of a further 3 100 houses, as well as social amenities, over the next five years.
These homes will range from 80 m² to 360 m² in size and cater for the diverse needs and affordability of all its employees.
