To every family the number one asset is to own a house.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We recognize the challenges people face to provide for their families a home .<\/li>\n<li>The pioneering work in this context was done by DIY Industries trading as Veneer Tech.<\/li>\n<li>See <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vtsa.co.za\/\">www.vtsa.co.za<\/a> for details.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Agri2000 has introduced two terms:-<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Entry level housing and<\/li>\n<li>Migration housing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To deal with the challenges of people who do not have houses or are working away from home.<\/p>\n<p>And to give substance to both the needs of our people in these segment, and the goal set by President Zuma to upgrade 400,000 \u00a0informal units.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">b) Entry level housing.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In South Africa there are over 2,7 million families that do not have a home of their own, living as squatters in camps or in backyards paying high rents to other people. In this regard a person have to give credit to Government for the houses delivered to date.<\/p>\n<p>This is also the same picture in most of Sub-Sahara.<\/p>\n<p>Africa is the one continent that has the recourses to house all its people, it is time new thinking is applied.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">c) Migration housing<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Worldwide the economies of all countries are in a process of adjustments where urbanization, and new economic developments result in a shift in work availability.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>This forces many people to migrate, looking for work to better themselves.<\/li>\n<li>At the same time there are people who cannot always find work at the place they call home and who has to work in other regions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Both these to aspects will in future be key drivers for housing in Africa and SA.<\/p>\n<p>Migration workers in SA are mainly in the mining and agricultural sectors.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>d)<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"> RDP and GAP housing market<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The fiscal benefits achievable in this market segment are through new concepts and options that will be introduced via the contractors development programs.<\/p>\n<p>What is important to note, is that many of these are <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">SA developed options<\/span> that offer both<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Strong Export opportunities and<\/li>\n<li>Opportunities for major Bee new businesses.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Across the full construction and building sectors.<\/p>\n<p>From agricultural produce processing facilities, industrial, hospitality, housing markets (From entry to up market), government and public facilities.<\/p>\n<p><\/div> <div class=\"one_half

style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">The real benefits are fiscal benefits<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong>in excess of- A hundred and ten billion Rand.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">The overall benefits<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The migration housing options introduced under Agri2000 are designed to meet the needs of our people who find themselves as migration workers.<\/p>\n<p>The main benefits are that the units allow:-<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Affordable quality housing.<\/li>\n<li>It allows people to acquire an asset as to just paying rent.<\/li>\n<li>And it provides quality community development on \u00a0sub-contracted land where permanent developments cannot always be used.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Creating therefore a win win option and economic empowerment for our people at entry level.<\/p>\n<p>DIY Industries sees the entry level and migration housing introduced by them as industry development platforms for the future.<\/p>\n<p>For example it:-<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Establishes true low-carbon housing options, that are<\/li>\n<li>Manufacturing based.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Therefore combining environmental and sustainability as housing options.<\/p>\n<p>More important it allows for the leveraging of housing through manufacturing.<\/p>\n<p>But ultimately it is aimed at providing a new approach for\u00a0quality housing for our people at entry-level or migration.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">d) Mining and agriculture<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>These solutions also take into account the needs in SA of the mining and agricultural sectors.<\/p>\n<p>Both these two sectors have for various reasons to date not benefited form the post apartheids reconstruction RDP\u00a0allowances.<\/p>\n<p>We believe that in this regard it creates an opportunity for Government, Mining and Agriculture to provide win win options to our people.<\/p>\n<p>.<\/div><div
