After launching the scheme, lieutenant governor VK Saxena said on Saturday, "In line with Prime Minister's vision, we are working on ensuring that everyone gets to be a homeowner.

DDA vice-chairman N Saravana Kumar was also present on the occasion. The residential units offered included 564 LIG flats in Siraspur and 150 LIG and 96 MIG flats in Loknayakpuram. In Narela, the available units consist of 694 EWS, 5,384 LIG, 386 MIG and 226 HIG flats. There will be a 25% discount on the LIG flats at Loknayakpuram, Narela and Siraspur, and a 15% discount on EWS, MIG and HIG flats in Narela and MIG flats in Loknayakpuram. Officials confirmed that the new scheme welcomed all Indian citizens aged 18 or above, operating on a first-come, first-serve basis. "DDA has implemented several buyer-friendly measures over recent years, including an integrated online inquiry portal, enhanced communication with purchasers and comprehensive transfer of property documentation. These steps have strengthened public confidence in the organisation, said officials. "After being in red for over a decade, DDA made a surplus of Rs 1,371 crore at the end of the financial year 2024-25, primarily on account of the unprecedented sale of housing units across all categories at various locations.

Committee uncovers irregularities in stadium project in Leandra
The Select Committee on Public Participation, Petitions and Members' Legislative Proposals did a follow-up oversight visit to the Lebohang Stadium in Leandra on May 13. The visit followed a 2019 petition by the local sports council citing poor workmanship on the stadium, initially envisioned as a state-of-the-art multipurpose facility. Committee chairperson Siphosezwe Mahlangu opened the meeting by outlining the committee's constitutional mandate. All the stakeholders were invited to account for their roles in the project. The Govan Mbeki Municipality, represented by municipal manager Elliot Maseko, explained that R11m in funding was received through the Municipal Infrastructure Grant (MIG) for phase one of the project in 2018/19. However, serious discrepancies in execution were identified, leading the municipality to allocate an additional R3m for remedial work and request R10m from the provincial Department of Culture, Sport and Recreation (DCSR) for phase two. The DCSR withheld the funds due to unresolved concerns regarding misallocated spending in phase one. MEC Leah Mabuza praised the sports council's responsible actions and the legislature's oversight, committing to ensuring accountability. She emphasised the importance of quality service delivery in projects uplifting poor communities. The provincial and national Departments of Sports, Arts and Culture said several errors had plagued phase one. The provincial department denied early involvement in the project, a claim disputed by the national department and viewed as unsatisfactory by the committee. Songezo Phethelo, the director for infrastructure development at the national department, criticised the lack of ownership from provincial counterparts. This committee echoed this concern, demanding higher standards of accountability. Sports council chairperson Abednego Lukhele recounted the council's exclusion from the project's implementation, blaming it for the substandard outcome. He commended the legislature for its intervention and the community of Leandra for responding peacefully despite frustrations. The committee condemned the overall handling of the project and raised several unresolved questions, including: • Why was the provincial department not involved from the beginning? • What remedial actions have been taken? • Is the project's current state worth the R11m already spent? • Why was the sports council excluded from the project steering committee? • Why were payments approved for uncompleted work? The committee expressed concern over escalating costs now estimated at R24m and called for serious consequence management, which might include employee dismissals, arrests, repayment of public funds and blacklisting the implicated service providers. The matter was referred to the Select Committee on Public Accounts for further investigation, with a directive for all stakeholders to submit detailed reports and attend future hearings.

Man creates fake social media account to harass woman, held
Indore: MIG police have registered a case against a man for creating a fake social media account of a woman he knew earlier and harassing her by posting objectionable content. The accused, identified as Rambabu Dangi , is a resident of Jeerapur in Rajgarh district. He reportedly edited and uploaded objectionable content using the woman's photos on social media. On April 4, a 25-year-old woman lodged a written complaint with MIG police stating that an Instagram account under the name 'Patel Parth' was created, where altered photos of her were being posted. The fake account was also used to send obscene and offensive messages and images to some of her relatives. When the woman confronted the account directly, the accused threatened her by saying, "This is just the beginning. " During the investigation, police found evidence that the Instagram account was being operated using a SIM card purchased by Rambabu Dangi. On Saturday, police detained Rambabu and during questioning, he confessed to the act. He admitted that he liked the woman, but she did not reciprocate his feelings. Frustrated, he created the fake account to defame her. The woman is currently working in Indore, but originally comes from the same town, Jeerapur.

Work started on the badly damaged road to Carletonville Graveyard
After years of complaints, the Merafong City Local Municipality has finally started to repair the road to the Carletonville Graveyard. The road to the graveyard has been getting worse during the past decade. Although there used to be a neat tarred road before, so many potholes have caved in on it that family members who want to go to the graveyard to visit their relatives' graves have started to drive on the side of the road. In some places, even these alternative routes have become so bad that it is difficult to drive there with a normal car. According to a municipal document from 2024, the municipality has set aside R5.6m to fix this road. The money was received from the National Government through a Municipal Infrastructure Grant (MIG). The contractor, Rhuone Projects and Plant Hire Pty Ltd, already started at the site about three weeks ago. Although the municipality did not reply to questions on the exact scope of the work and when it would be completed, a Carletonville councillor, Ben van den Berg, confirmed on Tuesday that work had started on the part of the road closest to the graveyard. At Caxton, we employ humans to generate daily fresh news, not AI intervention. Happy reading!
