Housing Minister Sankie Mthembi-Mahanyele speaks to Reuters during an interview June 23, where she said South Africa's new government plans to build quality houses during the next five years, shifting the emphasis from just building as many units as possible. Since the 1994 historic all-race elections, the African National Congress-led government has delivered 800,000 houses falling short of its 1994 target of one million. The price tag so far has been 9.7 billion rand ($1.6 billion.
