The MOU outlines a framework for collaboration between the two entities, focusing on identifying and addressing concerns related to accessibility in the province.
The DPSA has highlighted several key issues, including the backlog in housing for people with disabilities, the need for prioritization of this vulnerable group, and the lack of clear criteria for disability-related housing applications.
"This collaborative agreement seeks to address housing needs, employment opportunities, and the many inequalities faced by persons with disabilities," stated DPSA Provincial chairperson, Bongani Yamba.
"It is symbolic that, as the country was celebrating Reconciliation Day yesterday, we are here today to do justice to the forgotten and most marginalized group in society."

Minister Simmers emphasised the government's commitment to inclusivity.
"We recognise that not all people's needs in the Western Cape are the same, and today I am reaffirming this government's commitment to work with our partners at the DPSA and deliver infrastructure, especially housing opportunities, that are accessible to all."
