Prospects of a better life and livelihood after 1994 have not materialized for most and evidence shows that little has been done to improve the quality of life for most of the residents of all three communities. In Maandagshoek dreams of better housing were shattered when the government did not deliver on their promises of Reconstruction and Development Programme (RDP) housing. The mines, instead of contributing to improved housing, are considered responsible for the cracking of many existing houses as a result of explosions from mine operations in the region. The 'old' township in Rammolutsi consists of well built brick houses, but the vast majority of housing in the community is in the form of shacks that have been built since 1994, with a few RDP houses spread around here and there. With an extremely high unemployment rate it is unlikely that adult residents will ever live to see their shacks transformed into proper housing. Although arguably better than in most smaller non-urban communities, housing in Sebokeng remains highly uneven.
