Some Important Information From Comments

Comments:
1. I have since applied for a house in 2003 and never got it. The people, I applied before them got houses but, I am still without a house. How does that happen? Don’t you guys work on a first come first serve basis, because I think that is only fair. Things like this make us loose confidence in out government and our political parties.

2. I applied for RDP House in 2004. I am on the waiting list but, on 7th November, I received a call saying that, I must bring my documents Copy of my ID, Birth Certificate of my kids and Copy of my Payslip. When I bought all needed documents but, they said the slot is already full.

3. My husband registered for the RDP house in 2008 in Meyerton and in 2015, he went and fill out the subsidy form but, now they are saying that, he didn’t fill out the subsidy form. We don’t have any idea where and how are we going to get those form. Can anyone tell us, where to get subsidy forms?

Rumour :
I applied for my RDP House in 2003. My status says, “Approved” and there are new houses ready at my area but, only showrooms are occupied.There is a rumour going around that, you have to pay R10 000 to get the house, what must we do? The reason we apply for RDP is, because we don’t have money.

Information:
Most of the commenters commented,

1. That they all are applied for RDP House but, still in the waiting list.
2. They received the letter from HSS and found that the house is ready but, the status shows “STATUS NOT FOUND”.
3. They are waiting for House so many years, but have not got the house yet.
4. People who applied for House after us, have been allocated houses.
