In Albertina, the need for electricity was most urgent, followed by the need for houses. Since the survey, the community has been promised that the installation of electricity will begin in the first quarter of 1999 and in November the construction of the first houses began. The completion of these two phases of development needs to be prioritised. In Soshanguve Ext. 4, the need for schools appeared to be as urgent as the need for electricity, while the most urgent need in Johandeo was houses, followed by electricity and sewerage. Since the survey, the installation of electricity has begun and is due to be completed in the middle of December.
Residents now appear to be most concerned about sewerage and houses.
From an analysis of what residents of all four sites considered to be first priority in a new settlement, it is clear that tenure is relatively unimportant. Generally, services and houses were ranked as first priority, usually by convincing proportions and it is clear that the focus in new settlements should be on these areas. However, the water and sewerage situation has remained similar in Eatonside and Soshanguve Ext. 4, with residents finding the toilets terrible and having daily problems with the water supply. The water supply remained similar for Johandeo residents between the baseline and monitoring surveys there are hardly ever problems. Recommendations Services are clearly the most important requirement in the four monitored sites and the installation of services should be a priority.
