'We are pleased that these qualifying beneficiaries, some who are among the poorest in the metro, will celebrate the festive season in their new homes.

'The entire project is expected to be completed in April 2023, if all goes as planned. This is a very special project as opportunities are being provided for residents of the existing Pooke se Bos informal settlement. The City remains committed to ensuring that the most vulnerable Capetonians are assisted with affordable housing opportunities across the metro.

'We thank the project teams, contractors and, importantly, the community and beneficiaries for working with us while we complete the project and provide opportunities to the beneficiaries,' said the City's Mayoral Committee Member for Human Settlements, Councillor Malusi Booi.
