Door-to-door visits, along with community events and enlarging our tracking and tracing beneficiaries to meet the challenge are some of the latest interventions that we have put in place to shift gears in our housing delivery. <br></div><div><br></div><div><span>

The Directorate currently has more than 12 000 title deeds on its registry and our Festive Deeds Challenge sets the bar higher, asks us to do more and do things differently. The time is now and we encourage all our beneficiaries to come forward if they were meant to receive a title deed but have never received one. A title deed is so important, it is proof of ownership and property ownership unlocks many opportunities,’ said Councillor Carl Pophaim.<br></div><div><br></div><div><span>
