Use housing construction to empower people, fix the economy and create sustainable smart villages.
Botes — whose company Moladi Construction has delivered formwork homes, schools and government buildings in 20 countries around the world — said the move to overcome poverty and unemployment needed to be leveraged around another key SA dilemma.

“Fourteen per cent of South Africans cannot afford to buy food, 10-million are unemployed and there is a backlog of three-million houses,” he said.

“We must use this backlog to stimulate the industrialisation of the housing production line.

“We can fight poverty, unemployment and associated social ills like crime through housing.

“It’s a matter of connecting the dots.

“And we need to begin by establishing community-based co-operatives and empower people to help themselves.”


The members of each co-operative would be trained in the multiple different skills, from welding and plumbing to electrical work and plumbing, required to build their own formwork homes, he said.


“They can then take these skills into the mainstream economy and establish sustainable businesses, producing a win-win scenario for SA and its people.”
