10 December 2025

The City’s Human Settlements Directorate is proud to celebrate with the new homeowners of the Bonteheuwel Infill housing project. Over the past few weeks, the City’s Human Settlements Directorate has proudly handed over 234 homes to beneficiaries in Bonteheuwel – a significant milestone in one of the City’s most meaningful and community centred housing projects.

‘This is a long-anticipated moment for many residents, and we are honoured to assist so many families with a housing opportunity at the Bonteheuwel Infill housing project. The R140 million Bonteheuwel Infill housing project provides Breaking New Ground (BNG) homes to families and several homes are designed to accommodate elderly residents and persons with disabilities. To date, all 273 housing opportunities are completed, with 270 opportunities handed over to beneficiaries.

‘The Bonteheuwel Infill project is just one of several housing projects currently under way across the metro and we continue to accelerate our delivery to provide opportunities for residents.

‘This celebration is a reminder of what is possible when communities and all stakeholders work together. We congratulate every new homeowner, and we look forward to many more joyous handovers across the metro,’ said the Mayoral Committee Member for Human Settlements, Councillor Carl Pophaim.

Beneficiaries of City housing projects are selected in accordance with the City's Housing Allocation Policy and Housing Needs Register to ensure housing opportunities are made available in a fair and transparent manner that prevents queue jumping and to those who qualify for housing as per the South African legislation.
