The study sought to validate the RDP housing beneficiaries’ perceptions on the quality of their houses. The study was explorative, explanatory and descriptive in design; and triangulated both qualitative and quantitative approaches with the qualitative approach being the dominant approach and quantitative being the less dominant. The study utilized an interview guide with unstructured questions as a data collection tool to guide the conduction of in-depth interviews with the study participants; while a mini-survey questionnaire with likert designed questions was used to solicit the magnitude of the perceptions of the study respondents on the extent of the quality of the houses. The following perceptions were raised by most of the study participants: poor quality roofing; poor quality doors; cracking floors; weak and poor quality toilets. The researchers informed by these findings advocate for the government to work towards renovation of these houses to ensure that the people reside in qualitative RDP houses
