Africa-Press – Angola. At least 120 families residing in risk areas in Dondo, seat of the municipality of Cambambe, Cuanza Norte province, will be relocated, shortly, in houses that are being built in the 10 de Agosto neighbourhood.
According to the head of the National Housing Department of the Ministry of Public Works, Urbanism and Housing, Torres Bunga, the project results from an investment by the Government in partnership with the civil construction company Omatapalo.
The contract, started in March of this year, includes the construction, in a first phase, of 60 houses of typologies T2, T3 and T4, in an area of five hectares.
The work, whose budget was not advanced, registers 25 percent of physical execution and will be concluded in November of this year.
In turn, the municipal administrator of Cambambe, Adão Malungo, said that, in a first phase, 64 families living along the Capacala river channel will be relocated.
He underlined that the withdrawal of families aims to facilitate the reconstruction works of the dam to protect and regularize the Capacala river, which began in June 2022 and are scheduled for completion in February 2024.
The lack of maintenance of this containment barrier, 1,850 meters long, is identified as the main cause of recurrent floods in the city of Dondo during the rainy season.
The works, with a degree of physical execution in the order of 12.27 percent, without benefiting from any payment, are budgeted at three billion, 917 million, 168 thousand and 497 kwanzas.
