BHC ENGAGES MABUTSANE COMMUNITY ON PLANNED HOUSING DEVELOPMENT

The planned project will be implemented in phases and includes the construction of 200 single-family residential units together with supporting infrastructure. During the meeting Ms Ipeleng Lennwe, pointed out that last year July the Government selected some places to do the groundbreaking for Bonno National Housing Program, and Mabutsane was lucky to be among the selected places. She shared that during the groundbreaking which was held on the 8th of July 2025, BHC started the construction of 20 housing units from the 200 plots that have been allocated and the project is progressing well.

BHC and its consultant highlighted the project’s expected benefits, such as access to decent housing, job creation and economic growth. Key Environmental considerations, including waste management, noise and air pollution were discussed.

Community members participated actively raising questions about the project timeliness particularly the anticipated start and completion dates. After all the questions were addressed the Consultant assured residents that all the feedback gathered during the engagement will be incorporated into the final EIA report which will guide the project’s approval and implementation.

The community consultation reflects BHC's ongoing commitment to inclusive development, transparency, and the delivery of sustainable housing solutions that align with the needs and aspirations of local communities.
