Housing - We are tired of broken promises - Nomvula Mokonyane

‘Housing - We are tired of broken promises’ - Nomvula Mokonyane ‘We are tired of broken promises’ - No houses delivered since 1996 Princess informal settlement residents in Roodepoort have had enough. They say they are tired of the pledges made by the different government officials who have promised them countless times that they would receive proper homes. “We have been living here since 1996, it’s been well over 10 years now and we have nothing to show for it. We are tired of hearing promises with no delivery,” said an elderly resident, who only wanted to be known as Jacob. The settlement has had protests since Monday in the hope that their plight will be heard.

And we don’t want just anyone to come here, we want (Human Settlements Minister) Tokyo (Sexwale) or (President Jacob) Zuma,” said Jacob. The res...

NEDLAC Jobs Unemployment Employment Skills

NEDLAC Jobs Unemployment Employment Skills Transnet on Friday said about 40 people were injured during a stampede at its Bloemfontein depot after 10,000 people had arrived for job interviews for just 30 vacancies. As the first group of people were taken inside to write tests, those waiting outside assumed they would not be allowed to apply. They then tried to force their way in. Transnet’s Mboniso Sigonyela admitted they did not expect such a response. “That was shocking; we had planned for about 4,000 people. We had two halls which could accommodate 400 each and we expected it to take about four hours to assess all those people,” he said. 10,000 people arrive for 30 vacancies: HELLO - 10,000 People for 30 jobs - This government is failing it's people!!! This is sad - this is a shame! We have "Pew Warmers" in Government with no compassion or ability or will to create employment. We have the capability and technology to impact unemployment in SA creating jobs, but...

Housing construction costs in Yemen: Affordability & Purchasing Power - Middle East News

Housing construction costs in Yemen: Affordability & Purchasing Power - Middle East News : The substantial problem of a housing shortage is becoming an enduring feature in Yemen. All the same, the response to housing needs was hasty. Construction projects were executed using inappropriate and costly construction and design practices resulting in low-quality housing, causing further escalation in construction and housing costs to prices beyond the financial reach of the majority of the population in Yemen. A report by Dr. Basel Sultan.Improving the construction and housing sector is essential for several reasons. First for economic reasons, the performance of the construction & housing sector has a considerable influence on the overall economy where it contributes seven to 15 percent of the Gross National Product (GNP). Secondly, for social reasons, because housing is a basic human need. Third, for environmental reasons in order to reduce the consumption of resources, especially...

Brick and Mortar vs. Injection Moulded Construction System - moladi moladi   Construction Process - Video Link Disrupting the Mould DISRUPTING THE MOLD   The inefficiencies of moulding a brick or block in a mould then tasking an artisan to lay them. Then chase the walls for water and electrical services. Then relying on another artisan to plaster the walls. Depending on the skills and ability of artisans to produce a house vs. casting a house in a mould employing unskilled workers – eliminating the need to chase and plaster, in a day, at a known cost. This we refer to as the moladi   "injection moulding construction process".  Future of Construction - World Economic Forum Brick production: Pollution and Carbon emissions - CO2  Brick production: Pollution and Carbon emissions - CO2  Molding or Moulding Process: Molding or moulding is the process of manufacturing by shaping liquid or pliable raw material using a rigid frame called a mold ...

What is the cost to 3D print a house? What is the cost to 3D print a house or rather the "walls" of a house? What is the cost to 3D print the walls of a house? Whenever there is a post regarding 3D printing of homes, we are tagged by friends and colleagues to respond to the advantages of moladi vs 3D Printing. We therefore want to make it quite clear that this post is published purely to summarise our take on the topic and to have the ability to reference these questions and statements without having to repeat what we see as inherent issues associated with the 3D printing process of houses. All of the numbers used for 3D printing cost purposes are assumed, as these cost are not readily available for the purpose of this cost example. We would invite any 3D printing entity to help with the actual numbers to take any guesswork out of the cost estimation. First 3D printing post in 2017:  3D Printing a house or is it in reality - 3D Printing Walls?    - Link The de...
