Angola: Elections 2022 - João Lourenço Calls for Directed Self-Construction

Maçâmedes — MPLA candidate for President of the Republic João Lourenço Sunday appealed to the business community, cooperatives and citizens to stick directed self-construction to reduce the housing shortage.

The MPLA leader was speaking at a rally in Moçâmedes, Namibe province, as part of the campaign for the general elections on 24 August.

He said that, despite the fact that two satellite cities were built in Namibe, the concern with housing remains. Hence the need to focus on guided self-construction supported by the State, with the offer of infra-structured land.

João Lourenço considers the general commitment to be essential to meet the housing demand that could grow in the next ten years.
