The Housing Development Agency (HDA) is a national public sector development agency that
inter alia has the mandate to identify, acquire, prepare, and develop suitable land for human
settlements. The agency also undertakes the programme and project management for
development of housing and human settlements. The HDA carries out its functions in
partnership with a range of stakeholders including national, provincial and local government
and municipalities, as well as with communities, developers and financiers. It was established
in 2009 through an Act of Parliament passed in 2008. The HDA is accountable to the Minister
of Human Settlements, Water and Sanitation, through its Board of Directors.
The Housing Development HDA (HDA) [North-West Regional Office] has an existing Medium-
Term Operational Plan (MTOP) agreement with the North-West Department of Human
Settlements (NWDHS) from 2021/22 to 25/2026 FY. A new MTOP agreement has recently
been signed between the HDA and NWDHS for a period of 4 years (2026 FY to 2029/2030).
and manufacturing in 2008. In 2023, the NDHS pronounced its commitment to the eradication
and correct disposal of asbestos roofs and walls in old township properties across all nine
of 65
provinces. The HDA is actively engaged in conducting audits and assessments of asbestos
roofs, identifying, and subsequently eradicating roofs identified as hazardous so far.
Municipalities within the North West (NW) Province possess a considerable number of
structures featuring asbestos roofs. Many of these existing structures fail to meet the
requirements of the current valid standards and are deemed structurally unsafe due to the
health hazards associated with asbestos roofing. Continuous community participation and
consultation are deemed as important aspects of the Project Implementation to build and
maintain relationships with communities by developing and implementing coherent and
thorough Community Engagement Plan and Social Compact.
