Notice of opportunities for community empowerment
The Johannesburg Social Housing Company is looking to employ around 300 community members.
The Johannesburg Social Housing Company (JOSHCO) which is owned by The City of Johannesburg recently started with the development of social rental units at Princess Plots.
The development includes construction of 333 different types of unit sizes and related project infrastructure, and is to be completed in June 2022. According to Site Manager, Hannes Pieterse, the construction value is estimated to be around R133 million. JOSHCO has appointed Enza Construction as the main contractor on the project.
“The site was handed over to the main contractor on November 1, 2019. However, construction could not progress at the time due to community disputes and lack of clarity on the community empowerment programme. JOSHCO and Enza Construction have thus streamlined the internal processes for local community participation,” said Maki Thellane, the JOSHCO Project Social Facilitator, in a statement issued on behalf of Enza Construction on July 12.
Hannes went on to say that foundations, internal civil works and brick work have already commenced. The Project Steering Committee (PSC), which is chaired by local Ward councillor René Benjamin, has representation of the Ward Committee, Members from the Community, City of Joburg Region C officials from Citizen Relationship and Urban Management (Crum), Ward Governance, JOSHCO, Enza and the Community Liaison Officer.
“The PSC which was launched on February 15 meets on a monthly basis and provides an oversight on the project in respect of community empowerment, and assists with the resolution of challenges presented,” Maki said.
“The project aims to employ 300 members of the community as part of our Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP). Site clearance activities however already commenced on March 3, with participation of 18 EPWP local workers. To date we have a total number of 48 locals employed in the areas of plumbing, electrical, civil work, brickwork, steel work, concrete reinforcement and earthworks.”
An SMMEs (small, medium and micro enterprises) database was established on March 12 following an open, transparent process. Thus far four local SMMEs have been appointed in the areas of earthworks, concrete reinforcement, plant hire and brick work.
Maki added that mentorship will be provided to local SMMEs on site as part of capacity building to assist them in production management. Seta-accredited local training providers will soon be appointed to commence with accredited training linked to work streams on site.
