When briefing the Minister and his delegation, Manager Project Quality Assurance, Mr. Benjamin Olebile said SHHA Projects in Nkange Constituency, which Goshwe village falls under have been successfully completed and handed over. Project Quality Assurance Office, Mr Onalenna Lekalake further explained that Ms. Manka’s house has been constructed by a female youth contractor who delivered it as expected, that is with budget and the specified time. The Minister applauded BHC for a sterling job they did with different projects they embarked on. He however expressed concern that there is need for different stakeholders to align themselves accordingly in the development of community infrastructure which would enable the Corporation to focus on its mandate of building houses and delivery of projects without delays.
