The Vaal 21 vision was a district development approach to municipal governance, infrastructure development and economic development covering the two districts and municipalities north and south of the river with a partnership with all the major private sector companies such as Sasol and Communities. In 2015, Pascal was appointed the CEO of the Housing Development Agency (HDA). In line with his leadership roles in local government along with management consulting experience, Pascal was responsible for the repositioning of the Agency to become Government’s preferred human settlement developer of choice.
