WFH is now Khuthaza!
Khuthaza is a non-profit organisation driving the empowerment of women in the housing and construction sectors. Known previously as Women for Housing, we have recently rebranded and are repositioning the company within the sector.
The new name represents the role we play in encouraging change and development for both women and the industry as a whole.
Since 1995 we have partnered with a number of industry role-players to develop women’s industry related skills, careers and businesses. Our programmes, services and new areas of business all interlink to build a strong foundation for change that will contribute to prosperity within the industry.
This site provides information for women in the industry, a variety of industry role-players and potential partners.
Construction BEE Code
On 5 June 2009, the Construction Industry Sector Charter was gazetted as a Sector Code, in terms of Section 9(1) of the Broad-Based Black Empowerment (B-BBEE) Act.
The Code was developed by the industry and provides a framework through which we can promote transformation.
