MEDIA ALERT/INVITATION
8 FEBRUARY 2012


The City of Cape Town’s Mayoral Committee Member for Human Settlements, Councillor Ernest Sonnenberg, will hand over vouchers worth R1 000,00 to six Housing Incentive Scheme winners on Thursday 9 February 2012.

The Housing Incentive Scheme is aimed at further encouraging all housing debtors in both the City’s housing rental and selling schemes to pay their accounts. It rewards those who pay their accounts regularly by giving them a chance to win prizes.

Date: Thursday 9 February 2012

Time: 12:30

Venue: Ray Alexander Board Room, 6th Floor, Podium Block, Civic Centre

All media are welcome to attend.

Occupants who have paid their housing accounts for at least three consecutive months qualify for the competition. Those occupants who receive an indigent grant and have been paying their account consistently for the last three months will also qualify.

Winners will be excluded from the draw for three months following the award before again becoming eligible to participate in the draw.

To date, 90 debtors from across the city have each won R1 000,00 in Shoprite vouchers.

The fact that many of the winners are indigent debtors and pensioners is very encouraging.
