The handover ceremony was attended by the architect of the new campaign, Councillor Carl Pophaim, Mayoral Committee Member for Human Settlements. <br></p> | <span><p>'Our mission is to create more homeowners across various communities in Cape Town, providing residents with dignity and secure homeownership. We are delivering lasting change to our residents, one title deed at a time and, having appointed our title deed agents to locate beneficiaries that historically never claimed their deeds, is having a huge impact. We are now truly in the highest gear of delivery. </p><p>'We've appointed a service provider to solve the ongoing cases to make sure that as many people as possible have their deeds. We have a database of about 16 000 deeds that are owed to residents and I have challenged the City teams to find the beneficiaries. Together with our title deed agents, we are visiting beneficiaries at their homes to check and update their details. These important documents prove ownership and are important for financial transactions and estate planning. A title deed is so much more than a piece of paper and we want to get them to as many beneficiaries as possible.<br></p>
