Radio 702 building homes for the homeless
Five families will soon be the proud recipients of new Soweto houses, built for them by Talk Radio 702 as part of the radio station's 25th birthday celebrations. 702's listeners, sponsors and celebrities will be building the houses - from laying the bricks to plastering the walls and erecting the roof structure - from Monday 22 August.
Habitat for Humanity partnered the radio station, along with Holcim South Africa, Honey Accessories, Standard Bank and Chas Everitt, to build five houses in Protea South, Soweto.
Patricia Matekere, Melody Molokoane, Jacintha Mothibedi, Mamsie Segosana and George Rantau will receive the houses.
702's station manager Pheladi Gwanga says: "We are honoured to give of our time and labour to build the houses in Soweto. It is everyone's constitutional right to have access to adequate housing. We are doing what we can to fight homelessness."
Talk Radio 702 built three houses in Ivory Park last year and hopes to build more in the future.
