‘The City thanks the project teams and contractors for their exceptional work at this project. Thus far, we’ve handed over 385 affordable housing opportunities to beneficiaries. The latest phase at the project will provide more than 800 opportunities, and the entire project will provide 2 401 affordable housing opportunities to beneficiaries.

‘We remind residents that State-subsidised housing allocation is based on first come, first served and takes age and special needs into consideration. It is strictly controlled against political and outside influence. Outside parties do not have the right to interfere in the process or decide who gets a house and who does not, as they will then likely look after their supporters only. Registered beneficiaries must deal directly with the City,’ said Councillor Booi.

​​Beneficiaries are selected in accordance with the City’s Housing Allocation Policy and the City’s Housing Needs Register to ensure that 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.
