R17 000 000 000's worth of houses

Does anybody have the means to truthfully, work out how many low cost economic houses could be comleted with 17 thousand million Rand in the last 8 years?
I'm sure the current government, who is not operating under sanctions, needs to rather feather the lives of what, 12 500 people working at SAA?
Non of us have an issue (apart from it being a stupid joke!) with there needing to be a national carrier. Why?? However, they really should only be allowed to fly to the destinations outside of Africa and region, with only longhaul aircraft to "show the flag" (Vital!!), where private enterprise will not be stood on.
We have plenty of good private enterprise within SA to successfully service the domestic and greater Africa region without the poor taxpayer paying for a carrier on which they likely (most) will never even travel on!
